Who Gets Mail? Mailing lists and Spam Emily Springer Regional Leadership Conference August 2014

Sending s Issue is governed both by Federal law (the CAN SPAM Act of 2003) and AIAA policy Federal law only restricts commercial s – offering a product or service for a fee  Conferences, books, journals, etc AIAA generally deletes “Do Not is Yes” from all messages OK to keep separate lists  Daily Launch  However, we STRONGLY suggest starting with Datamaker list 2

What to send OK to send a newsletter that includes information about a dinner meeting or event where a fee will be charged Other section business, and all committee business, is allowable Suggest sending a yearly or semi-yearly reminder to “Do Not ” list to see if they know they are on it and if they still want to receive no messages  Some may want to hear from the section, just not for commercial s Keeping two lists means extra work for the section so can be done at your discretion 3
