Procedures for the Newsletter

 

Adopted 4/3/2005

 

Since its inception in 1985, the Halsey Hall Chapter has published a monthly newsletter, The Holy Cow!  Although the focus of the newsletter content has varied through the years, it has evolved into one in which the focus has been on chapter and member news.

 

Ideally, the newsletter editor will seek out information about members and their activities as well as information on new members for the purpose of introducing them in the newsletter.  Information regarding chapter events is a priority, and it is recommended that the editor attend board meetings.  If this is not possible, a representative of the board should transmit relevant information to the editor after each meeting.

 

The newsletter should be produced in an html (web-based) format.  When it is complete, the html file should be sent to the webmaster, who will post the current issue to the chapter web site.  After the current issue is posted, the editor will send out a notice of the posting to chapter members with e-mail addresses through the SABR web site (http://sabr.org).  This can be accessed after logging into MySABR and then:

 

·         clicking on “Admin” in the left-hand column

·         clicking on “Management” in the left-hand column

·         clicking on “Contact Members.”  Include satellite chapter members in the e-mail.

 

The newsletter editor is not responsible for mailing printouts of the newsletter to those who have paid a subscription fee (this is the responsibility of the treasurer), but the editor should place a notice in the May and June issues that the subscription fee is due for those wanting to continue receiving a copy in the mail.
