All current SIG officers are authorized to send messages to their SIG members through their SIG’s announcement listserv. The announcement listserv list is live, and any new SIG members will begin receiving new postings immediately after joining. SIG officers are encouraged to use this listserv as their primary means of email communication to their members. SIG Chairs are also authorized to send messages to their SIG’s lapsed members through their SIG’s lapsed member listserv. For information about accessing your SIG’s listservs, please contact sigs@aera.net.
