The Virginia Chapter of NENA maintains a list server as a means of communicating with its members. Subscribers may send messages to all other subscribed Chapter members via the list server. Subscribers are sent the following message upon initial sign-up. Instructions for new subscribers appear near the end of the message. Be sure to keep your e-mail address up-to-date, both on the list server and with NENA.

You have been subscribed to the Virginia NENA ListServ (VA-NENA), a distribution list and notification forum for the Virginia Chapter of the National Emergency Number Association. This list has been established to provide a means for general communication of messages to Chapter members. Generally, the list is used by officers and the list administrator to send information to the membership. The initial subscriptions include those e-mail addresses listed by NENA for its members, supplemented by additional addresses available to the Chapter.

Messages to this list are sent to everyone on the list; if you want only limited recipients, you should use the recipients' individual e-mail address(es) or use a distribution list or nickname list set up through your e-mail program to send such messages to one or more recipients. At the present time, replying to the list will return your message only to the sender... a new message is required to send your message to the entire list.

You will receive a separate message with listserv instructions.

If you know of additional Chapter members who would like to join the list or if you need to subscribe an additional e-mail address, subscribe by sending an e-mail message to <LISTSERV@ESVA.NET>. No subject required. In the body of the message include:

SUBSCRIBE VA-NENA Firstname Lastname

______________________________________________________________

This list is private and confidential. It is intended for the private use of Chapter members. You should not publicly release the contents of messages without the expressed permission of the author, nor should you forward copies of information or messages you have obtained from it to third parties. Exceptions to this are allowed for messages marked "PUBLIC RELEASE" and for "JOB ADVERTISEMENTS". Exception is made for you to share information pertinent to the Chapter operations with other members of the Chapter who do not have access to e-mail and to post educational and conference offerings.

Commercial advertising by vendors is prohibited. Members may, however, advertise surplus equipment and/or discuss commercial products of benefit to operations.
