CEM Help Desk
Need help using any part of the CEM site? More generally, have a question about online communities or networks? On every page of the CEM site is a little Support button. See it over there? On the right hand side of the page, following you around as you scroll up and down the page? :) Click it and you’ll have a direct line in to CEM HQ. Anything we can’t answer, we’ll circulate to appropriate experts within the greater community of 100+ participating organizations, communities, and companies that have come together to make CEM possible! PS: Got questions about the CEM calendar, how to use and get the most out of it? Check out this CEM Calendar Video.
