You may find yourself wanting to frequently send e-mails to specific groups of members: people working on a particular project, senior members, or new recruits, to name a few possibilities.

You can make this easy by creating E-Mail Groups.

Select Send E-Mail To E-Mail Group from the Communication  menu.  This will bring you to the page shown at right.

Click Send E-Mail to begin composing an e-mail to this group.  When you get to that screen, you will see that all the members of this group were pre-selected.

Not all members will see the Add a New Item, Update and Delete buttons.  Only those users who have the Membership or Site Administrator roles will see those buttons.

Click the Add a New Item button to begin creating an E-Mail Group.

As you can see, E-Mail Groups are very simple.

First, make up a name for the group.

Then select all of the members of that group by clicking on the checkbox next to their names.

Finally, click Save & Exit to save this group.

You do not need to create E-Mail Groups for committees.  The Committees page has a button that will let you send an e-mail to all members of the committee.

In a similar fashion, you can send an e-mail to everyone who has signed up for an event by going to that event and clicking the E-Mail Participants button.
