Lutheran Educator Information Form (formerly PEIF/LEIF)

Who is to complete the Lutheran Educator Information Form?
Officially the LEIF is to be completed by all individuals who are on the roster of synod or are eligible for the roster (Commissioned Ministers). 

Where is the Lutheran Educator Information Form found?
The form is found on the Lutheran School Portal. The link to the form is found on My Page under Member Information.  http://lsportal.net

Will the LEIF be found in any other place?  What about on paper?
No, the LEIF may only be completed on line. Access to the LEIF is through the Lutheran School Portal.

How will the information be used?
Efforts have been made to process the information in a professional manner which respects the rights of each worker.  The first and foremost use of the data will be to assist in the development of Call lists as congregations and schools seek candidates for openings on their staff.  In addition, the information is necessary for our district and synodical records as districts carry out their responsibilities.

What if I serve as DCE, DCO or in another Commissioned Minister position? 
How do I gain access to complete my LEIF?  Contact the CNH district office, Shelly Alba 866-264-6079 or shelly@cnh-lcms.org .

How do I complete the form?
Are their instructions?  Yes, a detailed instruction sheet is available on the portal and from your district office.  A copy is attached to this notice.

Once I complete the form do I have to complete it every year?
That is part of the beauty of this system.  You can update your form at any time by simply correcting or adding items that have changed.  You make the changes, save the changes and your record is current.

I have a suggestion.  It may help others as well.  Who do I send suggested changes and ideas to? 
We value your input.  Please send your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions to Bill.Cochran@lsportal.net or to Perry.Bresemann@lsportal.net .
