Conference Announces New Chapter Service

To supplement the communication services National AAUP offers, CSC–AAUP invites CT chapter presidents wishing to publish informational messages significant to members of other state chapters to use our recently-opened MailChimp account. When a chapter wants to invite members of fellow Connecticut chapters, or invite collaboration with other chapters, National’s communications services may be overburdened. A chapter president who wishes to announce open meetings, development events, guest speakers, calls to action, and other events or concerns will be welcome to send such announcements to CSC–AAUP for distribution to AAUP members throughout the state. Send questions or posts to ruthanneb@mindspring.com. (CSC–AAUP reserves the right to query, edit, or refuse messages after discussion with the sender and consultation, if necessary, with CSC–AAUP.)
