Based on feedback from both members and volunteer leaders, each affiliate, section, and coalition now has a dedicated community in ACHA Connect. These communities can be used to communicate news and updates to your network’s members.
Guidance on using ACHA Connect to communicate with your network’s members is available here.
Please follow these guidelines:
If you have information to share with members of your network, please use your ACHA Connect community. There are three ways to share news in ACHA Connect communities:
-
- As a standard discussion post — posts are shared with community members as either part of the daily digest or in real-time, depending on each member’s individual settings)
- As a blast email — option available to community admins only; blast emails are sent to each community member’s inbox in real time)
- As an announcement via the announcement widget — option available to community admins only; announcements are included in the community daily digest email)
- Please contact your staff liaison or current community admins if you need help adding or removing community admins.
If you would like your news items shared with all ACHA members, we recommend posting it in the ACHA Connect Member Forum. All members belong to this forum.
If you would like a news item shared in the ACHA weekly e-newsletter The Source, please submit it via this online form.
-
