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

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

3. 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 Email” 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 emails Keeping two lists means extra work for the section so can be done at your discretion 3
