Private Lists

SAA Section Lists

SAA hosts an official email dicussion list for all sections. In accordance with SAA policy, only members are eligible to subscribe. Section lists have been specially configured as follows:

1. Upon joining or renewing, section members are automatically subscribed to these lists in "NO MAIL" mode, meaning that normal, two-way discussions between section members are not delivered to subscriber by email. However, in NOMAIL mode:
   
   
   1. The member does retain access to the Web-based list forum and archives. (To visit those forums to which you have access, please click here.)
   
   
   2. The member will receive via email authorized one-way announcements from the section's leadership. This is an exception to the normal functionality of the NOMAIL subscriber mode.
   
   
2. Section members have the option of modifying their subscription type to SINGLE or DIGEST mode to participate in two-way discussions between section members
