Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/12/2014 -- The United States Personal Chef Association has introduced two new methods for its members to stay connected: A relaunched forum powered by Invision and a mobile app powered by Feathr, available on Apple and Android devices. The forum, available exclusively to members of the USPCA, features a host of ways for personal chefs to communicate with each other and improve their businesses. The mobile app, free to everyone, makes networking easier than ever.

“We are very excited to relaunch our member forum,” said USPCA President Larry Lynch. “Association members are already filling the threads with discussions about marketing strategies, ways to improve and expand their businesses, and even with their own recipes.”

Members can use the same login credentials for the forum as they do for the USPCA’s site. Other features include the ability to easily view new and unread topics, a private message exchange system, a function to track posts from friends on the site, and the capability to receive email notifications of messages.

The membership app introduced by the USPCA is one of the first of its kind among associations. Members can connect directly to social media profiles of other personal chefs, easily add notes and monitor relationships with other members and companies, get push notifications about association events and announcements, and view information about the national conference and local chapter meetings. The app, powered by the creators of Feathr, is available for free on Apple and Android devices.

“One of the main benefits of membership in an association is belonging to a community of people going through the same things you do on a daily basis,” said USPCA marketing manager Dan Chancellor. “Between the forum and the mobile app, personal chefs can now network and connect with other members easier than ever before. This is truly an exciting time to be a member of the U.S. Personal Chef Association.”

Members can download the app for Android or Apple by logging into the USPCA website at http://www.USPCA.com/communication. Members can access the forum at http://www.USPCA.com/forums.
