To log in on the Member's Portal, click on it, and enter your TASO ID# as the User, then enter TASO2002 (in capital letters - - it's case-sensitive) as the password.  You will then be prompted to change your password and then prompted to go in and update your record completely.  Then, you submit the record for approval and that's it!  Mary Wilson at TASO will get a message that says Record Approval -- she checks to see that it's complete and that the member is current (Active).  Then she approves it....  And from then on, you log on using your TASO ID and the password you created.  Pretty simple!  E-mail Mary Wilson if you have any trouble...
