Following up on the subject of division newsletters that was raised under “Any other business” Saturday afternoon, here are the default settings for email subscriptions for new ARRL members:

[ ] Temporarily disable all automatically sent email

[X] Notification of ARRL membership expiration

[X] Notification of license expiration

[X] Notification of monthly digital edition of QST

[X] The ARRL email newsletter, The ARRL Letter

[ ] ARRL Contest Update (biweekly contest newsletter)

[ ] The ARES E-Letter (monthly public service and emergency communications news)

[ ] The ARRL Club News (monthly club news)

[ ] ARRL Instructor/Teacher E-Letter

[X] News and information from your Division Director and Section Manager (Note: Some Divisions/Sections may not send notices.)

[ ] Publication Announcements and Special offers

[ ] ARRL Legislative Update

[ ] ARRL Board meeting agendas and minutes

As you can see, new members are opted into receiving division and section newsletters. They can opt out by unchecking the box.

So, the question that the Programs & Services Committee should discuss is how to encourage members who are not already receiving the newsletters to opt into doing so.
