Newsletter Guidelines

The event post needs to include the following information. (vTools captures all of this by default. Eventbrite and Webex announcements should include the abstract and speaker bio in the description.)
- Who is the speaker (bio)?
- What is the title?
- When and where is the event?
- Why it is of interest (abstract)?
- How can people register or get more information?
Please no “say something about X” submissions. Please provide the text you want included in the newsletter.
The editor must receive permission directly from an individual before using his or her E-mail address or other contact information for the newsletter.
A flyer is not required. If you do want to use one, please make sure it is the final, speaker-approved version before sending it to us.
Remember that that the newsletter E-mail needs to convey information in text. Some people can only read text-based E-mail (e.g. vision-impaired individuals and some .mil addresses).

The publication date is the last day of each month.
Approx. 7 days before publication, the editor will send out a call for submissions to section and chapter volunteers, which will include a summary of the articles already submitted.
Noon on the day before publication: Deadline for new submissions.

The newsletter consists of the following sections:
