It is unlikely that you will need to send a message to a committee as they generally communicate with each other via their committee listserv, however, you should have the administrative rights to do so should a need arise.

Step #1: Login with your username and password to the Website Administration Module - https://secure.associationsonline.com/amo/nasig/index.cfm.

Step #2: Once you are in the Administration module, click on the Messaging button in the menu across the top of the page.

Step #3: Then Select Recipient Type by choosing which portion of the membership you want to send your message to from the drop-down menu. When sending a message to a NASIG committee, you will be able to choose from a list of committees. If you want to send a message to more than one committee or to a group of members that are not listed, see the instructions for Sending a message to mulitiple committees or groups.

Step #4: On the right-hand of the screen, you will see a blank to change the From Address for your message as well as the Reply To Address. These addresses will default to the registrar's e-mail address and your e-mail address respectively, but you will want to change the From Address to the appropriate nasig.org email address, for example if the message is in regards to this year’s award winners change the address to awards@nasig.org. The Reply To Address can be changed to the address of the individual who sent the message to lists@nasig.org, unless otherwise specified within the text of the message.

Step #5: Copy and paste the subject line from the email message sent to lists@nasig.org into the Message Subject blank as well as any CC e-mail addresses that the sender wants to have included if they are specified in the message. WARNING - Do not include any attachments with these emails. If the sender wants to send a document, instruct them that they will need to upload the document and link to it within the e-mail message. If they have sufficient permissions to upload documents, they can use the instructions for Uploading and Removing Files.

Step #6: Copy the sender’s message from their email and click on the Paste as Plain Text button. Paste the message content into the pop-up window. Then click the Insert button to close the pop-up window. This will put the text in the message box but you will need to add any links to any URLs or email addresses that were hyperlinked in the original message.

Step #7: To add links, highlight the text you wish to link and click the Link button. A pop-up box will appear for you to enter the URL or mailto:theemailaddress. Click the Insert button to close the pop-up window.

Step #8: At the bottom of the page, you can check a checkbox to Append Username & Password Information to Email Messages?. If the message makes reference to logging into the NASIG website or if the sender asks for this information to be included in the message, click this checkbox. If neither of these things is true, you can leave it unchecked.

Step #9: Proof the text one last time and click the Send Message button. Once the message has been sent you will see a long list of all of the addresses the message has been sent to. Don’t forget to reply to the sender and the lists@nasig.org address with the message - “Your message has been sent to the NASIG membership.”
