CHANGE IN SCORE NEWSLETTERS |
|
Moving to Monthly SCORE News You Can Use |
|
Based on feedback received from SCORE volunteers, as of today, July 6, we will be moving to one monthly News You Can Use, to be sent the first Tuesday each month (or Wednesday in the case of a holiday). This newsletter will only provide information that is relevant to the majority of SCORE volunteers and clients (ex. success stories, spotlights, client opportunities, volunteer lifelong learning, major news or changes that impact the entire organization).
Other newsletters with specific, role-based information, (ex. accounting, marketing, social media, webmaster) will be targeted based on volunteer roles in Engage.
SCORE Leadership positions (Chapter Chairs, Assistant District Directors, District Directors, and Regional Vice Presidents) will be copied on all communications distributed at this time. We will check in with leaders after the transition to gather feedback on the change.
