What is a Mailing List?

Imagine a way to talk with other credentialed directors all over the state about problems or wonderful stories you have to share. There is a way…. a Mailing List.

A Mailing List is an electronic conversation among registered members. Every registered user can post messages for everyone to see and respond to. Since all registered members will see the message you send out, they may respond with similar situations and solutions.

You may want to watch the postings for a week or so to get to know what type of subject matter is posted.
