Constant Contact Update
All Volunteer Chapter Accounts are now on the new Constant Contact editor. From this point forward, we will only be pushing the templates in the new editor templates. We will be working to update all old SCORE provided templates to the new editor by end of calendar year. You will still be able to access your old templates and emails.

If you are having trouble with the new editor, here is a recording of a Constant Contact walk-through webinar. You can also reference the SCORE Learning Portal provided by Constant Contact. 

If you have any additional questions regarding Constant Contact, please email [email protected].
