Providers and Membership
Providers we use often are CILC, Connect2Texas, and Vanderbilt. Only CILC requires a
membership. You can sign up for program emails with Connect2Texas
(http://www.connect2texas.net/listserv.htm) and Vanderbilt ([email protected])
To sign up for an account with CICL, click here.
Here are the preferences I signed up for:
To request a program, you’ll need to get a PIN. The PIN is a FREE service from CILC. Whoever is responsible
for requesting programs and tracking program requests will need a PIN. Often that person is also responsible
for making sure that program requests stay within an allotted budget. Thus, most organizations have one PIN
for the one person making program requests. Larger schools districts sometimes designate one person at
each building to make program requests for just that building. In that case each of those persons would have
their own PIN, thus multiple PINs for the district. For additional questions or assistance contact Website
Assistance at 866-302-CILC (2452).
Follow these steps:
Log onto www.cilc.org.
Click on the Member Services button. Click on the last bulleted item, Organizational Registration (PIN) If your site is new to CILC.org, click on get your PIN now.
GHS and CFT are already set up. If you already have an account, you can still request a PIN and modify your
