NAMS offers members certain features and services through the restricted-access “Members Section” of our website.
The NAMS membership identification (ID) number is needed to access the Members Section of the site. These 5-digit numbers are provided to NAMS members on their NAMS Membership Card. This ID number should be entered in the box called "User Name." As the password, members should enter their first name, exactly as it appears on the Membership Card. A member's password cannot be changed by the member nor by the NAMS Central Office.
NAMS members receive as part of their membership a complimentary subscription of the print and online versions of the journal Menopause. To gain access to the online version at the publisher's website (www.menopausejournal.org), subscribers enter their 12-digit customer number, which appears above the address on the print version's mailing label. The user name and password are established when the online subscription is activated.
No cookies are used on this site to allow the Members Section to remember login information. When logging in, if a member chooses the option "save this password in your password list," the password will be saved by Windows Explorer in an encrypted file on the member's hard drive, allowing the member access without further login at the next visit. The password is not saved by the NAMS site.
Member profiles are maintained for every active member of the Society in our main membership database. This profile includes information such as member ID number, name, institution/firm, postal address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address.
NAMS collects and uses the email addresses of member subscribers to various programs (eg, First-to-Know and Menopause e-Consult e-newsletters) for the purposes of sending the email messages that comprise these services. We may occasionally send email messages with surveys regarding these services.
The personal information, including your email address, in the member profiles is occasionally used by NAMS to distribute marketing materials by mail, fax, or email. Members can elect not to receive from NAMS certain printed mailings, faxes, or certain email notices. However, electing not to receive any of these communications may mean that you will not receive important notices about your membership or materials, events, or services that may be useful to you.
NAMS occasionally rents the names and postal addresses of its members to third parties for promotional mailings when contents are approved by the NAMS Board of Trustees, but restricts such third parties from otherwise using or retaining such information. Members can elect not to be included in these list rentals.
If you are a member and wish not be to included in any of these communications, please contact NAMS using the methods listed in paragraph 11.
