Members will also have the ability to upload and share files within each community. 

How many online communities will ELFA offer?

ELFA will offer four online communities: LeaseTalk, LegalTalk, TaxTalk and AccountingTalk. The association also plans to introduce new communities in 2019!

When will ELFA’s online communities launch? 

ELFA will launch the new online communities in Q1 2019.

How will I know if a question or comment was posted to the online community that I’m subscribed to?

Members will have the option to receive email alerts each time a member posts a question or comment to the online community. Members may also opt instead to receive a Daily Digest to their inbox that shows a summary of the communications, if any, within a particular day. 

Is there a mobile app? 

Members will also have the option to download the ELFAConnect mobile app to access the online communities, post questions and respond to comments through their mobile device. The mobile app is scheduled to launch later in 2019.
