Member Organization Dashboard & Coach Profile Development Updates

USRowing is pleased to launch two powerful new tools to support organization administrators and coaches within the Member Portal: The Member Organization Dashboard and updated Coach Profiles.

These updates are part of our ongoing effort to make safeguarding, compliance, and coach development simpler and more efficient for everyone. Member organizations are encouraged to use the new tools to stay up to date with compliance throughout the year. As a reminder, coaches must have a current SafeSport certification and pass a NCSI background check approved by USOPC to access restricted athlete areas at Youth Regionals and Youth Nationals. 

The Member Organization Dashboard – New Features, New Look 

Admins will now see functional and visual improvements to their landing page upon sign-in. These include: 

• Compliance checks at a glance, allowing admins to understand the overall compliance status of their members, including current and upcoming expirations.
• The ability to add roles within the team, including Administrator, Coach, Board Member, Regatta Support, and Volunteer..
• Visibility into the status of the signed membership agreements and SafeSport acknowledgements for your team.
• One-click ability to report safety incidents and SafeSport misconduct.
• Administrators managing multiple team accounts can now easily toggle between teams.
• Information on how to request a certificate of insurance for Plus teams.  

Below is a sample image of what administrators can expect to see. 

Improvements to the Coach Profile – Smarter, Faster, Easier 

Coaches will see functional improvements to their profiles, allowing specific compliance-related items to be easily managed and updated across their profile, team-affiliated rosters, and at regattas.  

• Connectivity between the USRowing Member Portal and The Launch. Coaches who register for courses through the member portal will now see them on their enrollment dashboard in The Launch, USRowing’s platform for learning and continuing education. Once the course is completed, it will automatically appear in the course completion section of the coach profile and update the level of certification across the coaches’ profile header.  
• Quick Tip: To auto-enroll in courses between the member portal and The Launch, ensure you have created an account in The Launch by clicking on “The Launch” button in left-hand menu and accepting the Terms and Conditions.”
• Access to self-initiate a background check through the USRowing member portal. Background checks are run through the USOPC-approved company, NCSI. Upon completing a background check initiated through the member portal, coaches will see updated to a cleared status appear on their profile.
• Streamlined boater safety attestation process to accommodate all state laws and coaching responsibilities within an organization.
• Increased file size limit, allowing coaches to submit required documentation with less friction through the member portal. 

Coming Soon 

The Member Organization Dashboard and updated Coach Profiles are a part of our commitment to make continuous improvements to tools and member experiences. Here are more developments you can expect to see by mid-summer: 

• Track and manage Continuing Education Credits directly in your Coach Profile.
• More visibility into coaching requirements. New columns will be added to the roster view, allowing admin to manage if their coaches have completed their background checks, first aid, CPR, and boater safety using column filters.
• Members who have selected roles within the organization will be added to their role-based roster in the team, allowing admins to easily manage the compliance items required for these roles.
