Send us an email or call Member Services at +1-317 975-8755-ext 411or 800-KIWANIS in the USA and Canada. Your club secretary also can enter this data for you.
I subscribe to Portalbuzz. What do I do?
Portalbuzz users should click “Sign in with Portalbuzz” on Kiwanis Connect. After entering your Portalbuzz user name and password on the Portalbuzz login page, you will be able to move freely into Kiwanis Connect by clicking the “Kiwanis” link.
Does my Portalbuzz login information have to be different from my Kiwanis Connect login?
Portalbuzz users may reset their Kiwanis password on the new sign-in page, but this is not necessary. The username and password at each site may be different, or they may be the same. Additionally, if you change your password on either site, it will not change your password on the other site.
I’m more confused now than when I started. What should I do?
That’s ok. We can help. Give us a call at +1-317-875-8755 ext. 411 (worldwide) or 800-KIWANIS in the USA and Canada.
