DA Policy on Contacting Members and Access to Membership DataPolicy Statement and Guidelines on using our membership database as the exclusive tool for communicating with DA members |
...
All unsolicited Country, Chapter, and Caucus Group Emails can only be sent from the Nationbuilder platform. This is a firm rule.
THIS MEANS: ANY unsolicited email that you send to your chapter, country or caucus
listsmembers MUST be sent from Nationbuilder. This includes: Monthly newsletters, event announcements, sub-group meeting announcements - ANYTHING that is not a response to an individual member question or email.
WHY:
Members see the email comes from a DA email address, which is a trusted source.
...
This ensures that emails are only sent
...
to current
...
members, and not people who have changed their minds about membership - in DA, or
...
your caucus.
ALSO: Members see the email comes from a DA email address, which is a trusted source.
- AND: sending from a personal email address outside the DA email domain is ipso facto a breach of your Confidentiality Agreement. If we find that this has occurred, we will have to suspend your administrative privileges.
...
Keep your Members informed about relevant issues, but be careful not to inundate them with messages.
WHY: We know from our own experience that people receive a lot of political messaging. We want to avoid the dreaded Email Fatigue that leads some to unsubscribe from all DA mailings.
Caucus-Specific Emails:
Global level - Send your caucus mailings from your Global Caucus Broadcaster. No more than 2 emails per month.
Country level - Send your proposed emails to your country chair or communications officer. They will send the email out from the country broadcaster to your members. This is a change in policy, necessitated by GDPR compliance.
No more than 2 emails per month at the country level either.IF you
need tomust send more than one or two emails in one month, at either the global or the country level, check with the Global Caucus Coordinator or the Int'l ExCom regarding the timing of your email.
Membership Lists:
Exported lists can only be used solely for information and reference purposes and NOT for external mailings or Facebook.
