You have joined the International Society for Quality of Life Research (ISOQOL) – welcome! As an ISOQOL member, you have access to join any of ISOQOL’s Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
SIGs allow you to connect with professionals who are either in your geographic area or have a similar career focus, for networking and collaboration. Joining a SIG allows you to make the most of your membership by finding your community.
Follow these steps to join a SIG today!
- Log in to your ISOQOL Member Profile. (Learn more about accessing the Member Profile here.)
- Select the SIG Sign-Up tab and check the boxes next to the SIGs you want to join. Save your changes.
- You will receive an invitation email from the ISOQOL Community Platform to access the SIG. (Please note that this may take up to 24 hours.)
- Log in to the ISOQOL Community Platform directly or by using the invitation email.
- Select the SIG name from the menu and complete the short form to join the group.
- Important: This step must be completed for each SIG you join in order to receive the SIG’s communications.
While there is no limit to how many SIGs you can join, the average ISOQOL member is engaged in up to three SIGs. Keep in mind that SIGs are most useful to everyone when all members are engaged, and actively engaging is a great way to earn a leadership role!
If you wish to remove a SIG from your profile, simply uncheck the box next to the group you wish to leave on your Member Profile. This will automatically update your groups within the community platform.
