[NABS-L] Purpose of the NABS Email List in the 21st Century?

[President, NABS | Kathryn Webster]

I love this discussion! It sparks so many ideas on how we can further
improve our mailing list. 

Some initial thoughts come to mind - 
1. Should the Outreach Committee institute weekly discussion starters on the
list?
2. How do we make the list more active, but also not too overwhelming with
email traffic? 
3. What are ways we can better engage our members?

These are just some immediate questions I have, but I am excited to hear
from all of you! Let's get our creative juices flowing!

Love,
Kathryn

Hi,
Yes, I feel the email lists are absolutely necessary for people like myself,
who are not allowed on social media.

Having these lists still allows everyone to communicate and keep up with the
happenings of the NFB. 

Thanks,
Jessica

media platforms?

So I am just curious if there is still a place for the NABS email list in
the 21st century.
