You can edit your profile if you click on the top-right on your name and “My Profile”. Watch this short clip on how to set-up your profile page:
First, make sure to upload a recognizable profile picture. We recommend a professional image to increase your reputability.
Remember: this will be the “face” of your account.
Fill in as many of the information sections as you choose, they are all optional, but we recommend sharing at least some basic information about you with your constituency.
If you are representing a public/government agency your can leave sections that don’t apply to you (e.g. Political Affiliation or Professional Background) empty — it will not appear on your profile if empty.
