Board Memo 030-18 -- Board Mail Procedure Reevaluation
NAPS Headquarters is reevaluating our procedures for sending out Board Mail to ensure you receive information in a timely manner and can distribute to your membership as you see fit. First, we will be posting the Board Mail received daily to the Bulletin Board on NAPS’ website. In addition, we will begin sending out mail received Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday on Thursday and mail received Thursday, Friday, and Saturday on Monday. This means you will be receiving an email with three days’ worth of mail twice a week instead of six days’ worth once a week. We hope this change will facilitate greater communication between you and your membership on important topics.
Thank you,
NAPS Headquarters
