Local group guidelines for membership database

Local group guidelines for membership database

Niklas Ludwig – Revised 4/5/06

Local group leaders will now receive the portion of the membership database relevant to their particular region. To receive the database for your area, please send an email to Nik Ludwig clearly signifying that you understand the five conditions below and agree to abide by them. I will send you your segment in the form of a sortable Excel spreadsheet.

1. Local group leaders may not send more than one mass email to the members in their respective area per calendar month, without the express approval of the Local Groups Coordinator.

   NOTE: when you send out a mass e-mail, you must send it out "bcc" or "blind carbon copy" to protect our participants' e-mail addresses from getting in the wrong hands. – Amanda

2. The only appropriate use of member information is to inform them of upcoming local events, and to ask them for their participation.

3. The FSP will not share the information of members who elected to not be contacted.

4. Local Group Leaders may only contact those members in their respective region, as defined by the local group map on the FSP site.

5. Inappropriate use or frequency of member information will result in the loss of any leadership position.
