New Listervs
We have recently changed our list servers for email distributions both to capture groups more accurately and also to allow moderation of messages so we don’t have issues with unwanted messaging. Below is a table outlining the new listservs, including details on new list emails, members of each group, and moderation settings. Please keep this information for your reference and future use. These listservs are now active and should be used for all relevant communications moving forward. We will move to end the old listservs.
