As the first step in a proposed multi-year project to improve communications with our members and friends, we have set up a new system for email to our community. In efforts to prevent spam, we are prevented from using the servers at Michigan Tech (and most other ISPs) for emails to all of our community. So, we have selected an email service company, Constant Contact, to provide member email services. This is strictly an outbound email service to you. Our Office Manager, Don Durfee, sia@mtu.edu will continue to be the point of contact for most of your requests. Additionally, president@siahq.org will reach SIA President Mary Habstritt. For comments and suggestions about the new email, please contact Jay McCauley (jay@knightsia.org) Contact information for other officers and Board Members is on the SIA web pages, http://siahq.org/contacts/contacts.html 

Most of us detest spam, officially “unsolicited commercial email”. Constant Contact is extremely vigilant about not permitting spam to be sent, and has strong working agreements with the major internet service providers like AOL, MSN, Yahoo!, etc. to ensure delivery of mail sent through them. These ISPs detest spam more than you do, and routinely “blacklist” domains thought to be sending spam, preventing all mail from the blacklisted domain. Using Constant Contact should prevent siahq.org from being blacklisted by your ISP. 

The email is an opt-in, value added project. That is, we will not be getting your email address from our membership database. Rather, you will need to opt-in by supplying your address, most often via a form on the SIA web site. The email program will not replace any of our publications or event materials, but will add value by more timely notification of publication content, events and other useful information. The planned volume of mail is very small, a mailing about once every six to twelve weeks. 

It has long been SIA policy not to furnish member names and addresses to outside parties. This will extend to your email address.

Please join the email program!
