Mailing lists how-to

The Board Secretary should be responsible to update these lists every year.

The list womensclub@mailman.rice.edu contains all the current members. The purpose of the list is to communicate with all the Club members who wish to use email. The Treasurer should provide the Secretary with the spreadsheet of dues paying members. The Secretary should remove all previous entries and then use the column with email addresses from the Treasurer’s spreadsheet to populate this list.

The list womensclubboard@mailman.rice.edu contains all the board members. The purpose of the list is for internal communications among the board members. It can also be used as a “response account”; for example, if feedback is needed to the board, we can ask members to send their responses to womensclubboard@mailman.rice.edu.   The Secretary should update this list upon the appointment of the new board.
