RE: Notifications

["Kelly D. Norris" <kellydn@frontiernet.net>]

For what two cents are worth these days...

This highlights one of our biggest deficits of communication with our
membership--we basically do not communicate with them electronically at all,
even as we have email information for (probably?) a majority of members.
The opportunities to communicate directly to a member's inbox are blindingly
obvious in this day and age and would essentially require no shift in
policy, etc.  We just need to start doing it.  Notices about convention,
electronic renewal reminders, monthly e-newsletter that would serve to cache
all the business/newsy update information that we tussle over from time to
time (an editor can dream, right?), etc. all are possible ways in which we
could begin cultivating relevancy with our members' inboxes.

So when do we start? :)
