Online DocSection Level Welcome Email New Members Template
Last modified by Liane Taylor on Tue, 06/21/2011 - 8:58amThe following template was developed by the members of the RUSA Membership Committee, 2009-10. It is a template that can be adapted by all sections within RUSA to reach out to new members. Sections can take as little or as much from this template as desired, but all sections should contact new members monthly. The RUSA Marketing Specialist (Liz Markel) will send out lists of new section members.
