Answers to your frequently asked questions:

What is the BSCAI “Problem Solver? It’s a “free” networking service that puts BSCAI members in touch with BSCAI member volunteers who have expertise in specific subjects.

How do I use it? It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Log in using your BSCAI member number as your ID.
2. Look at the subject list to find the subject you need. Click on the subject and a list of volunteers will be shown, including their name, company name, address, phone and fax numbers, and email.
3. Click an email, call or fax the members listed with your inquiries.

What can I ask? Whatever questions are on your mind for the subject you need. This is an informal networking service. The levels of expertise may differ from one member to the next and the individuals may have differing opinions themselves. When possible, you may want to call more than one member for a variety of opinions to help you in developing your solutions.

What if the subject I need is not listed? Because this is an all-volunteer service, we may not have volunteers for something you need. Often, however, you may find just the right volunteers under a related subject heading.

May I contact the “Problem Solver” volunteers anytime? Their hours, like yours, correspond to their working days. When contacting volunteers, keep in mind there may be time zone differences.

Whether you email, call or write, it’s your choice. If you do not have your member number or the “Problem Solver” handy when you need help, simply call the BSCAI Membership Department at (800) 368-3414 or email us at jfletcher@bscai.org and we’ll be happy to provide your member number or refer you to the appropriate BSCAI member volunteers.

A wealth of knowledge and experience is right at your fingertips. It’s only available to you through your BSCAI membership and it’s yours – just for the asking.
