CIC Membership Database Cleanup

New: >> Update your membership information here <<

With secretaries and treasurers simply adding records to the CIC membership database each year and updating membership details only upon advice, we have witnessed, over the past few years, a high percentage of our mailouts to the membership (as required for AGM notification by the CIC Constitution) coming back marked "...Return to Sender..." for individuals who no longer reside at a given address.

Hence , with CIC membership information going as far back as 1991, it is now necessary to perform a cleanup of the CIC Membership database in order to update our records.

As a result, you may be receiving a call from one of the Executive Members of CIC wishing to validate your records within the Membership Database. They will identify themselves and seek confirmations of the following details as per our records:
  • Your First & Last Name
  • Your Address & postcode
  • Your email address (if you have one)
  • Your Phone number (mobile and/or land line)
  • Whether you would prefer to receive email from CIC and 
  • Whether you would like to receive SMS messages about of important events (such as Ramadhan & Eid, etc)
Rest assured no one will be removed off the CIC Membership database as a result of this exercise. Those CIC members with whom we cannot establish contact either through the phone number(s) we have or their last known addresses, will remain on the database, but mailouts to them will cease.

It is therefore very important for you to ensure that your details within the CIC Membership database is accurate and up-to-date. Doing so will also ensure that voting at CIC's AGM elections will run more smoothly with less disputes about membership status .
