sumApp Member View | Bio Page

The Bio page is the first page your members will see when the click on the link included in their sumApp invitation email. It is meant to 1) help orient your members to the project’s process and purpose and 2) give each member the opportunity to help others in the network identify them easily on the Connections page.
