Member Portal

Centralina members have access to numerous opportunities to shape our regional agenda and access to valuable resources to improve outcomes in their communities. This portal provides a central hub to help your community better connect with the information and services that we offer exclusively to members. There are four primary sections – Grants & Funding (grants alerts, forecasts, grant support videos), Intergovernmental Advocacy (congressional representatives, congressional calendars, state & federal action plans), Your Membership (information about member benefits, Centralina delegate handbook, member liaison information) and Your Resources (a repository of Centralina Learns videos, guides / toolkits and external resources that you can filter by topic and type). We continuously update and add resources to each section throughout the year and highlight new additions in our monthly newsletter.
