Joining groups in IFT Connect is a great way to make connections, share information, ask questions, and access helpful resources. We've updated the Groups menu to make it easier to find the group you are looking for. Select "All Groups" to start exploring. 

As an IFT member you can join or update your groups including:

Pre-selected Regional Section and Topical Division Groups
When you join or renew your membership you are prompted to select preferred topical divisions and are placed in your geographical section. This data is passed into the IFT System to automatically enroll you in those corresponding community groups.

Updating your Division Selections
To update your division selections you need to access your IFT member account and either add or unsubscribe to desired divisions.
