  1. To create an account, go to www.icba.org and click on "Log in" in the upper right corner. From there, select "create an account."

  2. Enter your email address and create a new password (there are no restrictions for passwords).

  3. You will receive a confirmation email with a "Finish Account Creation" link. Note that this link expires after 24 hours, so be sure to click it promptly. If you have not received a confirmation email, be sure to check your spam folder.

  4. Complete the required account information, making sure to enter everything in the correct case. When you are done click continue.

  5. Lastly, select all applicable job functions and click "finish."
