Add Sponsors and Members to an Organizational Account

Sponsors (the term Bookshare uses to refer to educators on an account) are the people who can add students (members) and get books for them. Sponsors can also add additional educators as Sponsors. An account can have as many Sponsors and Members as desired.

Sponsors and members can be added one by one or in a group using a downloadable spreadsheet.
