Subject: [BCMA Broadcast] Notice: Member Broadcast Email Network (MBEN)
Message-ID: <44F6C3E6.23677.9ED4F7C3@localhost>
Greetings from BC Museums Association!
For some time, BCMA has planned to re-structure our "Broadcast"
listserv as a "members only" service for current members in all
membership categories, as a readily available means to reach our
membership quickly with advocacy alerts, new "members only" web
content updates, new Council Meeting Summaries (in development),
Annual General Meeting notices and documents, and other exclusive
Association and membership business, in an effort to improve member
communications and transparency of Association governance and
administration.
The re-constituted Member Broadcast Email Network (MBEN) will
now begin to perform these roles.
We wish to invite those former BCMA program clients and community
service organizations that have been subscribed to the Broadcast
listserv over the past few years as different funding program clients,
(ie. VolNet, Youth Community Action, etc), who wish to continue to
receive information from BC's museum, art gallery & heritage
community to subscribe directly to our FREE, moderated, public
BCMA-L listserv. Many are already subscribed to both listservs.
You can subscribe yourself to BCMA-L at:
Meanwhile, ALL current Broadcast Listserv subscribers will be
unsubscribed by BCMA. Shortly, you will receive an automatically
generated email notification to this effect from our mail server.
ALL current BCMA members will be re-subscribed to the new MBEN
listserv & similarly, will receive an auto-email notification from our mail
server.
New BCMA members will be automatically subscribed to MBEN,
however any direct applications for subscriptions to MBEN will first be
confirmed as members by the MBEN moderator.
We urge BCMA members to remain subscribed to MBEN as this
listserv will be dedicated to membership business, as noted above.
Comments and dialogue is encouraged and welcome, but will be
moderated for "members only" relevance. Unapproved postings will be
re-directed to BCMA-L, if appropriate.
Following this immediate re-structuring of MBEN, please standby for an
announcement regarding a special initiative in conjunction with the
Ministry of Tourism, Sport and the Arts and the new Minister, The
Honourable Stan Hagen.
Thank You!
--Jim
