the member listserv

 

The National Guild email listserv is where news, advocacy issues and opportunities are announced and members exchange advice and ideas.  Available to Full members only, it is a private, moderated electronic mailing list service fostering community and facilitating networking among peers in the field.

Member schools may add email addresses for all interested staff, trustees and volunteers to receive and post listserv messages.

UNSUBSCRIBE

Email Majordomo@lists.colstate.edu with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe ngcsa-l (+ email address to be removed)

POSTING AND REPLYING TO THE MAIL LIST

Send your message to NGCSA-L@listserver.colstate.edu

Upon approval of the list moderator, messages will be duplicated and forwarded to all mail list subscribers.

To reply to a message you receive from the list, use the "reply" feature of your mail client.  The address of this list will automatically be entered into the "To:" field of your outgoing message. The sending and receiving features operate the same for mail list messages as for all your other e-mail messages, with the main difference being that the entire mail list community sees your response.

For technical assistance, contact owner-ngcsa-l@lists.colstate.edu.

PRIVACY NOTICE

Participation in this list is closed to all except National Guild Full members.  For security and privacy, the software for this list has been configured to block postings from any e-mail address which has not been officially subscribed.

MAIL LIST COMMUNITY ETIQUETTE

IDENTIFYING YOUR E-MAIL

Only your email address is automatically added to the bottom of your messages by the list software.  Always sign your full name, the name of your institution, city, state, phone number, and street address at the bottom of your message.  This identifying information is necessary so we all can know who sent the message.  For example, there are several subscribers with the name "Peggy".

BEING CONSCIOUS OF YOUR COMMUNITY

Whenever you reply to the mail list, everyone reads your response to one person's inquiry. You can continue direct communication with someone outside of the mail list community by selecting the sender's e-mail address signature at the bottom of the message instead of automatically selecting "Reply" in your mail client.  A new mail message will open to the individual sender and not to the whole mail list community.  For example, National Guild staffers send administrative business across the mail list, which may not pertain to the whole mail list community and may be answered personally.  Please reply directly to individuals if your response is pertinent only to the sender instead of broadcasting to the entire mail list community.

UPDATING SUBSCRIBERS

Please inform the National Guild's office IMMEDIATELY of any changes to your email address.  That way you can remain in contact with the mail list community.

Inform the office of any additional e-mails you want to add to the mail list.  You can subscribe up to six e-mail addresses from your respective institution.  We also request prompt notification of any changes to secondary contacts' emails.

RECEIVING MAIL

Each mail list subscriber will receive a copy of all messages posted to the list.  Please allow 2-3 business days for a new message to go out to the list.

HELP!

If you encounter any difficulties, have trouble understanding any aspect of this list, or if you have any questions regarding use of this mail list, please contact the owner/manager of the service.  He will be happy to explain anything regarding the use and features of this mail list.
