Newsletter Update John Hoben

John Hoben was invited to provide a report to the Executive Committee concerning the newsletter. He explained that he has gathered an enthusiastic team of members who will be issuing a newsletter on the first day of each month. Mayank Agarwal, a member from India, who has extensive technical expertise is helping with formatting and delivery issues related to Mail Chimp.

The overall goal of the newsletter is to increase the asset value of the Society’s published works and use the newsletter as marketing tool to expand our reach. The newsletter team will publish an editorial calendar thru January, 2016.  Input from all members is encouraged.
