The New CBA Membership Directory. What Does it Mean to You? We’re excited to announce the new online member directory. That means you can find your colleagues and the public can look you up easily. Log on to www.cobar.org/directory/ to make sure your information is accurate. Through October, your information will be password-protected and no one else will be able to see it. On Nov. 1, your information will be available to other members and the public. Obviously, this is a great member benefit. Just a note about privacy: The information you put in the directory will be what others see. Feel free to leave off your phone number if you’d rather not get calls. You can even delete everything but your own name. The online directory is separate from the our main database. Anything you change or delete in the online directory will not affect the internal database. If you have questions about this change, please e-mail membership@cobar.org. You can also call (303) 860-1115 or (800) 332-6736 and ask to speak with someone in the membership department.
