Alcatraz YPO
Read full descriptionHide full description
Alcatraz YPO is the app for members and partners of the Alcatraz chapter of YPO: the chapter's directory, calendar, and photo album in one place. Sign in with the mobile number your chapter has on file. There is no account to create; the chapter verifies membership, and the app takes it from there. If a number isn't recognized, the app says so and puts you in touch with your chapter administrator. MEMBERS The chapter directory: profiles, contact details, forums and board roles, and a map of where everyone lives. Save a member to your contacts in one tap. EVENTS The chapter calendar and community events, with RSVPs, who's attending, directions, and add-to-calendar. PHOTOS Add photos from an event, tag the people in them, and find every photo you're in on your profile. Any photo can be reported to the chapter administrators. FORUMS AND BOARD Every forum with its members and moderators, and this year's officers alongside every board before them. HOME What's happening in the chapter: new members, forum news, RSVPs, birthdays, photos, and announcements from the board. Notifications, if you allow them, bring announcements, event reminders, and a nudge to share your photos the day after an event. Your profile is visible only to signed-in members and partners of your chapter. There is no advertising and no tracking; see the privacy policy for details.
