Sustainability Roadmap LISTSERV®

Guidelines & Subscribing | Posting to the List | Archives & Settings

What is a LISTSERV® mailing list? It is a discussion forum that uses e-mail as its medium. When a subscriber sends a message to the list (or replies to a message from the list), all other subscribers get a copy in their e-mail account. Typically, a LISTSERV® is used by subscribers to ask and respond to industry-related questions.

Usage Guidelines and Subscribing

To use the Sustainability Roadmap LISTSERV®, users must agree to these guidelines:

• Our list does not accept attachments.
• If you have something to share, please include your e-mail address in the body of your message and ask to be contacted directly. It would be most helpful if you include your e-mail address in your mail program's automatic signature.
• If you are requesting a document that has been offered, please write directly to the person who offered it rather than replying to the group. Replying to the list with "me, too" is highly discouraged.
• VENDOR NOTE: Do not sell any products or contractor services on this list. While we appreciate the expertise that many vendors have to offer, we request that companies and individuals refrain from advertising or soliciting on the Sustainability Roadmap LISTSERV®. If you can offer expertise, guidance, or information on given subjects, please do so, but do not offer this advice as an attempt to sell your own product or service. Any attempt to solicit customers may result in removal from the Sustainability Roadmap LISTSERV®.
• Please do not post job openings to the Sustainability Roadmap LISTSERV®. Each of the PMGs has a job posting resource:

ASHE Career Flash
AHE Career Link
AHRMM Career Center

If you agree to these guidelines, you may subscribe to the Sustainability Roadmap LISTSERV.

Posting to the List

To post to the list, subscribers should send an e-mail to SUSTAINABILITY-ROADMAP-L@ahals.aha.org. Please make the subject line of the e-mail clear and concise to help other subscribers decide on the relevance of the message to them.

The Sustainability Roadmap LISTSERV® is moderated. This means no message will go through to the rest of the list unless it is approved by a moderator. Similarly, all subscriptions must be approved. Subscribers should be aware that moderation slows the posting process, and messages cannot be expected to be approved outside of regular business hours.

Subscribers should be aware that replies to a LISTSERV® message go to all subscribers. Also, be aware that all messages to the list are archived and searchable. Therefore, subscribers should not write something they may regret later.
