Instructions
for the management of
CIA Account and Services
For whom?
An account and services
are provided free to all subscribers to CIA
Public E-mail Lists (ref: list-manager@actuaries.ca).
These services were designed to facilitate the use and the
management of your subscriptions to the CIA Public E-mail
Lists.
With the same account, CIA members (Fellows, Affiliates, Associates
and Correspondents) can request access to additional services reserved
to the members.
How
it works?
The purpose of the CIA Account is to help you create, maintain and
update subscriptions to CIA E-mail lists.
The CIA E-mail lists are already populated with thousands of subscribers,
among which yours may figure.
You can now see at a glance the status of existing subscriptions and
modify them.
Everyone must create a CIA Account, whether this is for the management
of existing subscriptions or the creation of new ones.
Three layers of
management are provided and accessed through first buttons
on the left margin, respectively: for your account (burgundy),
for your e-mail addresses (green) and for your subscriptions
(blue).

The creation of a Personal Account (burgundy layer) allows

E-mail addresses and subscriptions to CIA Lists for future
maintenance.
Each
time you make changes in the list subscriptions through this
CIA web site application the Lists are immediately updated.

way to find out if you need these services.
