Broadcast Email Options
In addition to resources provided by the HAA, some Clubs and SIGs use external resources to manage their organization's email communications.
While many Clubs and SIGs use broadcast email tools, they are independent of the HAA. The Clubs and SIGs team can provide general guidance on email content but are unavailable for technical support. No matter what method you use, research your local laws about email to ensure that your organization is in compliance.
