CCP Website Changes

June 5, 2026

---

Motivation

Recently, LearnDesk went down for maintenance unannounced on May 31st, and as of 6/5/2026, it remains down. This behavior is totally unacceptable, so we are acting on our contingency plan. On Monday, I deferred some of the website rebranding changes to implement a ticketing mechanism within the website.

As a result, I’m turning off the LearnDesk events page and enabling the new event registration capabilities on the website. While you will see some visual differences, it behaves predictably and isn't significantly different in behavior.

Impact

• We have a Zoom link correction for Monday’s presentation for those who signed up on LearnDesk for the June 8^th event. New Link here

• For all other events, If you have previously registered and or paid for events on LearnDesk, you don’t have to reregister; you will use the links provided to connect to the event.

• Profile Page on the Login Menu

  • The Profile page in the login menu lets you edit your contact information for our organization.

  • We will rely on you to maintain your contact information and keep it up to date so that we can communicate with all members.

  • Please make sure that you have an address, at least an email and a phone number for us to reach you

  • If you have a PPC / PPA # please enter it on this profile page.

• Also, you will find on the login page an events page, which will show you the events that you have registered for. Please note that this will not show any events you previously registered for with Learn Desk, but the Zoom links you received are still valid.

• Over the next two months, you will see a stream of updates to the website as we transition the site to our new name.

  
  

Step 1 – Create a login for the Website

We are using the same WIX platform as the CIPPA website. Members, and members only, have access to meeting recordings, the membership list, which includes contact information, and the new event pages we are adding. To get access to these sections, you need to have a login.
