About Email Lists
Each CAS Regional Affiliate has a permanent e-mail mailing list that is updated by CAS staff via the master office database. These mailing lists were developed to facilitate efficient communication between the Regional Affiliate Officers and their memberships. Only authorized users can send messages to the list. Currently, all Regional Affiliate Officers have been designated as authorized users. Please feel free to use the list to distribute meeting announcements, minutes, or any other information of interest to your Regional Affiliate.
The e-mail address for each Regional Affiliate list follows the following format: cas-RAAcronym@connectedcommunity.org. (i.e., cas-CAMAR@connectedcommunity.org). If you have any questions or comments regarding the e-mail mailing lists, or need assistance utilizing them, please feel free to contact the CAS Webmaster at webmaster@casact.org.
