Our conversion to our new portfolio reporting system, Orion, is complete and Q1 2022 Quarterly Reports are now available on NCM360. For your convenience, we have programmed our new reports to very closely resemble our old ones; however, if you have any questions about reading the reports, please email Jaycee.

If you have not yet done so, please schedule your 15-minute access session with Catherine to get your login instructions and a quick tutorial on the system. If you would like your reports printed and mailed to you every quarter, please email Catherine.
