How to Get Started

To join a group in the Connect community, log in to Connect, select All Communities from the Communities menu at the top of the page, locate the group you want to join, and click the Join button.

Members Only refers to CUPA-HR members.

Note: Your Contact Details are pulled directly from CUPA-HR’s database, so the only changes you should make there are changes you want made to your CUPA-HR account.
