About this feature: Better Impact Buddies are users of our software that would like to help other users of our software. They offer their advice and share their experiences with their peers facing similar situations. Buddies are not expected to answer technical, how-to questions about the software (because we are happy to do that).
- Go to the My Profile Menu (the green profile icon at the top right), then click “Update My Buddy Profile”
- Check the box at the top if you would like to be a Better Impact Buddy. *You do not need to check this right away. You can go ahead and enter your information and come back and check this box when you are ready
- Enter information about you and how you can be a buddy to other administrators:
- Organization Name [required]: enter the name of your organization

- How I Can Help [required]: enter some text that will explain to administrators that are searching for a buddy how you can be of help to them
- Gallery URL [optional]: enter the URL for your “Gallery”. You’ll need to reach out to us first to let us know about something that you do or have done in the Better Impact system that makes a difference in your organization. We’ll set up a webpage that showcases it!

Note: You can enter or update information at any time in your buddy profile. By unchecking the box at the top, you will not remove information from your buddy profile; that just removes your profile from the buddy search until you want to be searchable again.
