Back-to-School Series: Create (or Update) Your OTAN Account

Posted on 08/28/2025

This is the first in a series of news items that will provide information about essential features of OTAN for you to know as you and your colleagues begin the new school year.

We encourage all adult educators to create a membership account on the OTAN website. Creating an account is the easiest way to stay connected to the latest developments throughout the school year and it's free!

To create or update an OTAN account, first go to the OTAN website. Click on Join OTAN / Login at the top of the home page.

Join OTAN button

On the next page, create your OTAN account by clicking on Register to complete a membership form, or enter your email address and password to log in and update your account. Use Forgot your password to reset your password. (If you have any issues logging into your account, please email us at support@otan.us for assistance.)

Log in dialog box

Whether you register for the first time or log in to your account, you can enter or update your contact and agency information on the membership form. Within the form, indicate your preference for receiving the OTAN Newsletter. One note – if you check yes to Professional Development Opportunities, you will receive email notices when there is an open training in your region, even if it is not at your agency.

Make sure to save your changes once you have entered all your information.

Once you create an account (or if you have an existing account), you can enter your email address and password at the Login page to log in and adjust your contact information and preferences at any time.

You're all set to stay in touch with OTAN! Look for email notices, OTAN Digests and Newsletters, and other communication throughout the school year. We look forward to staying in touch! (And encourage a colleague to create an OTAN account as well!)
