MSPEI internal communication mechanisms in 2010 continue to evolve with a goal to share information in real time and as cost-effectively as possible. An integral component to achieving this goal is to run a paperless organization and ‘go digital.’ Phase one of MSPEI’s greening-process is to offer ALL members the option of receiving MSPEI communiqués, including the newsletter, the PULSE (inaugural electronic version, Winter 2010 edition), general information notices, forms, applications and the like electronically.

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of the membership base currently receives MSPEI communiqués electronically. However, not all members with access to email have registered their email address with MSPEI. Paradoxically, you will soon receive a similar ‘paper’ notice included in your 2010 MSPEI/CMA Membership receipt. It was necessary to notify all members including those already registered to receive MSPEI emails in the (unlikely) event members may wish to discontinue electronic communications.

Having email means timely receipt of important information at zero cost to your Society. Other Divisions have successfully converted to digital operations and MSPEI seeks to emulate that achievement.

The time is right to ‘go green.’
