Subscribing to CESSE E-mail Lists (Members Only)
Peer-to-peer learning is the foundation of the CESSE culture. Members from more than 175 associations learn from one another through active listservs, periodic surveys, and meetings -- a mid-summer Annual Meeting, a mid-winter CEO meeting, and occasional meetings of active membership "tracks." CESSE has membership tracks in the following interest areas:
- Chief Executive Officer (by invitation only)
- Continuous Quality Improvement
- Finance & Administration
- Education and Training
- Information Technology
- Marketing & Communications
- Membership
- Public Affairs
- Publications
Please join your CESSE colleagues on a new member community site. Collaborate with your fellow CESSE committee members and even create your own communities of mutual interest. The first step is to login which is located in right hand corner of the homepage. Your email address is your login and your CESSE member ID is your password. Use the left hand navigation to locate your member ID.
In this section, you can sign up for CESSE networking listservers -- automated e-mail discussion groups for interactive discussions with your peers. The CESSE e-mail lists are designed to improve communication among like-minded members, offer a forum for exchanging ideas and thoughts, and provide answers to questions and challenges faced by fellow members.
- Many of CESSE lists are open and will allow you to automatically subscribe directly without CESSE approval.
- Use the check boxes displayed to choose which list you would like to be apart of.
- When you are done click the 'Subscribe' button.
You will receive a confirmation notice and instructions on how to use the e-mail forum once you have been added to the list. Please keep these for future reference. Please keep in mind that you can send only plain-text e-mail to the listservers (i.e., no HTML text and no attachments). This restriction is enforced to prevent viruses from infiltrating the lists.
Sending a Message
- To reply to messages you receive from the listserve, be sure that the send-to address appears as "list name"@lists.CESSE.org.
- Avoid resending the entire message to which you are replying by cutting and pasting the relevant parts into your response.
- Using the reply button in your e-mail application will automatically send your response to the entire list.
- Identify yourself with a signature tag in all messages. Include your name, association, location, telephone number, and e-mail address.
