By taking these simple steps, you'll be able to make meaningful connections with your peers and maximize the value of your ATAP membership.

Take control of your community experience by customizing your notification preferences. From your profile page, navigate to My Account > Community Notifications to choose how you receive updates (real-time, daily digest, or consolidated digests), then visit Email Preferences to decide which categories of emails you'd like to receive via email. While you're there, review your Privacy Settings to manage what other members can see about you. These simple adjustments let you control your community communications, ensuring you stay connected without overwhelming your inbox.
