ProClass

AIL's New Registration Platform

The AIL Office has been working diligently to transition from CashNet to ProClass, a new course registration and event & membership management platform.

Current members will be receiving communications in the coming weeks about their account within ProClass and how to access it. The AIL Office will offer training sessions so you can become more comfortable with the new platform. Please be on the lookout for these important email communications from the office.

Thank you for your patience as we make this exciting change!

The AIL Board of Directors would like to extend their sincere thanks to The New London Inn / The Elms for the opportunity to participate in the Thursday's Child dinner series.

AIL is pleased to see this collaboration with area non-profits revived in our community, which provides the opportunity for our non-profit peers to be recognized for the good work they all do.

Proceeds from the May 8th dinner have been directed towards AIL's Scholarship Fund at Colby-Sawyer College, the AIL Achievement Award, which is given annually to a student at Colby-Sawyer College in their junior year.

Please consider a visit to The Elms this summer.
