TROUBLESHOOTING:
If you cannot login to the website:

o   Step 1: Determine the error

§  Change your web browser. If you use Chrome, try Safari, Edge or Firefox. If you can successfully login on another browser, it is not your credentials, it is that your preferred browser is “holding on” to the old website, and it needs to be cleared out. See the next step to fix that. If this does not fix the issue, you will need to change reach out to us to confirm your credentials (email me at with what you are using to login so I can test it memberrecords@nsp.org )

o   If Step 1 is successful: You can clear your browsing history and your cached Images and links on your preferred browser. (I am using Chrome for example, since it is most popular)

o   Click on the 3 vertical dots located at the very top right corner of your Chrome browser.

o   Click on History in the drop-down menu, and then History again on the second drop-down menu that opens up.

o   On the left side of the screen you will see an option for clicking “Clear Browsing Data”.
