What is Flashmail?
One of the benefits of being a NAME member is that you automatically receive updates about events and opportunities happening around the region via Flashmail, NAME’s listserv-style email announcement list. We aim to send out a weekly digest of all items submitted by you, our members, using the NAME Gmail address, nw.aquatic.marine@gmail.com. Note that no email will be sent out if there are no announcements for that week.
How to submit something to Flashmail
Announcements in Flashmail are all submitted by you, our members, and include:
- NAME communications about conferences and regional events
- Relevant community seminars
- Grant/funding opportunities
- Upcoming field trips, workshops, and training events
- Teacher and educator resources
- Much more!
If you have something that you want to share with the NAME community, please forward it to nw.aquatic.marine@gmail.com. If possible, please include “For Flashmail” in the subject line or body of the email.
What to do if you’re not getting Flashmail emails or you want to change your email address
We use the email list from NAME’s membership website, so now you are in control of where Flashmail is sent to. If you are not getting Flashmail emails, check here first (instructions are below). If you want to change the email address that Flashmail gets sent to, follow these same directions:
- Go to http://northwestaquaticandmarineeducators.memberlodge.org/
- Sign in with your user name and password in the upper right corner
- Contact Jennifer Magnusson if you don't have a password or are having troubles logging in
- Once signed in, click “View Profile” located under your name in the upper right corner
- On the left side under “My profile”, select the button “Edit profile”
- In the box next to “e-Mail”, enter the email address you want Flashmail to be sent to
- Scroll to the bottom and select “Save”
- You’re done!
If you are still not getting any Flashmail updates, check your junk or spam mailbox and add nw.aquatic.marine@gmail.com to your contact list so that emails from NAME don’t accidentally end up get flagged as junk or spam.
Finally, if you still aren’t receiving emails, contact Sarah Mikulak, the Flashmail Chair, and she’ll hopefully be able to help you out.
If you no longer wish to receive Flashmail updates, you can update your preferences in the membership database. Please also contact Sarah Mikulak to ensure you are removed from all email lists.
