Key contacts page

Hello,
Is there anyway I can create a key contacts page? This page would have a picture and contact details of our key people. One solution would be a free text module in which I can embed a reference to a group member, much like occurs automatically in discussions.
On a related note, is it possible to link to a member via URL, similar to a mailto: link, but which would link to the CollectiveX member profile?
Thanks,
Nick

Nick - You may want to consider purchasing our Content Customization feature ($9/mth) which allows you to add additional pages to your Groupsite. Here's an example of one from a group I am in http://ignitebaltimore.collectivex.com/page/about-ignite-baltimore
Take a look at the bottom half of the page and see if that is close to what you need.

Hope that helps,

Thanks Shaun,
I had expected to be able to do that, but it is entirely manual. I was kind of hoping it was possible to make use of CollectiveX's member profiles and just make links to the profiles and no more. Our key contacts will change over time (quite frequently), so I was hoping that keeping the key contacts page up to date would be a minimum of fuss.
Cheers,
Nick
Nick,
Regarding "On a related note, is it possible to link to a member via URL, similar to a mailto: link, but which would link to the CollectiveX member profile?"
The answer is yes. Every member's profile has a unique URL, and you can create a hyperlink to that URL using the WYSIWYG editor. It would look something like this:

If I'm correctly understanding what you want to do, you can create a new page called "Key Contacts" using our Content Customization feature. When you create that page, you can choose to build it using our content modules. This will allow you to add a Freeform Text type of content module and then enter names and/or photographs of your Key Contacts, which you can then hyperlink to their profile.
You can learn how to create and use hyperlinks here:

Thanks Diana,
That helps. I think I can see what the possibilities are now. I maintain that it would be a helpful feature to be able to easily insert a member description snippet into a page as appears along side blog / discussion entries.
Cheers,

My group would benefit from a contacts database that stretches beyond members to include people/services that would be of interest to members. A specialized integrated module (contacts organizer) would be a great feature.
