Your association's dashboard is where you build and manage its directory of member markets and vendors, and the map that goes with it. Get to it from your account page: click Associations, then click Dashboard on the association you want to manage. This opens on the Members page.

From here you can:

• Find and add markets or vendors already on Marketspread
• Create a market or vendor that isn't on Marketspread yet
• Import a list of members from a spreadsheet
• Update a member's profile — including one that hasn't claimed its own account yet
• Tag members or message them in bulk
• Build a map of your directory and embed it on your own website
