List Purpose
The Organization Development Network (OD Network) sponsors this mailing list to help us find ways that work for our regional OD communities - ways to govern, support, initiate, strengthen or improve our Regional Networks.
Topics
Challenges identified by regional network leaders include:
- membership recruitment and commitment
- best volunteer administration/management structures (and by-laws)
- ways for working with special interest groups within the larger regional activity
- professional development that includes wise sages and recent graduates
One or more topics on this list may be an issue for you. . .or you may have one to add. We want this discussion to be an additional tool for us to meet these and other challenges.
Who Can Subscribe
This list is for those people actively involved in leading regional OD networks. It is intended to be a place where we can share challenges and stratagems for meeting them; for sharing successes and ways to achieve them. There are other lists for professional concerns beyond this scope, and we hope you will explore them. We hope that many representatives from each regional network will participate in this list, to provide a rich and diverse experience.
Subscribing
Subscribing and all other functions can be done easily using the subscription form. Follow instructions carefully.
We encourage you to write a brief note introducing yourself shortly after joining a list.
Sending to the List
When sending a message to the list, you may NOT send attachments (including Microsoft Outlook "vcards") or HTML content (colors, fonts, pictures). This is to avoid rare, but potentially serious, security problems including transmitting viruses to list subscribers.
Information on how to configure your email program (Outlook, AOL, Eudora, etc.) can be found at http://www.expita.com/nomime.html (click "Email Client Programs").
Changing Member Options
You can change or retrieve your password, set the To/From Digest, suspend mailings, and change your email address or name using the member options form.
You can set the "Mail Delivery" option to "Disabled" to suspend messages (for vacations, travel, etc. when you do not wish to receive mail) and reset it to "Enabled" when you return. This is easier than unsubscribing and resubscribing. You can set this option for all lists at once from any list.
Unsubscribing
For security, you will have to respond to a message sent to your email address to complete the unsubscribe process.
List Archives
The full text of the list archives can be searched - by any words in the text including author. The archives can also be searched by date. This is useful if you wish to follow a single discussion.
If you do not know your list password, request it be sent to you before trying to access the archives. We advise changing your password to something you can remember. You may make this easier by using the option to set the password for all lists at one time.
