What is the registration process?
To register for Unleashing the Power click on the link labeled "register". Enter your first and last name in the appropriate fields. Click on "Find." Select your name from the populated field. Click "Select." Fields containing your first name, your last name, and your Employee ID will appear. Fill in the remaining fields with your e-mail address and desired password. If your e-mail is already loaded in the system, it will auto-populate in the appropriate field and your password will be e-mailed to you. You may change you password by clicking on "My Profile" and selecting "Change Password".

If you have already registered, but have forgotten your login information, click on the link "click here" to have a reminder sent to you via e-mail. Users may only register with the system one time.

It is vital that you register. Registration will allow the system to capture your e-mail address if it is not already loaded into the system. Inputting your e-mail address will ensure that all notifications are received in a timely manner. Also registration will allow you to view the status of any nominations you have submitted and assist others who may want to send you a thank you note.
