The OSB Sole & Small Firm Practitioners Section website has been updated and now offers a number of new features, including expanded member database functionality, user accounts for every section member, and a more robust calendar feature.
The updated member database contains a clickable map of Oregon delineating each county. A click on a specific county links to a page which contains a listing of all section members practicing in that county (it is also possible to access county information by using the drop down menu). Each attorney listing contains contact information, a link to the firm website and, when activated, a link to a member profile. In addition, each county page contains a drop down menu of common practice areas which, when selected, links to a list of section members who practice in that particular area. These features were included to better serve the referral and marketing needs of section members.
Beginning on August 5th, SSFP section members may log onto the SSFP website to activate their online account and add content to their member profile. An online profile provides an easy way for section members to locate other member attorneys for practice area referrals. Members will receive an e-mail from webmaster, Chris Gent (gentweb.net), which contains a user name and password, both of which are required to access member accounts. In order to reduce duplicate feature requests, a phase-in schedule for accessing user accounts has been implemented. Members are asked not to attempt to access the system until their appointed log in date:
- August 5 – Last names that begin with letters B – F (*members with last names beginning with “A” should have already received a user name and password and may log in at any time)
- August 12 – Last names that begin with letters G – L
- August 19 – Last names that begin with letters M – R
- August 26 – Last names that begin with letters S – Z
Members who have not received a user name and password by their log in date or who are having trouble accessing the system should contact webmaster Chris Gent at support@osbssfp.org
