old typewriter keysTips to assure you receive information e-mailed from IGFOA

List IGFOA as a Trusted Sender - put the following e-mail addresses in your e-mail contact list, address book, trusted sender list or approved sender list (whatever the name may be in their email client).

Whitelist websites and email service providers that IGFOA uses- A whitelist is the opposite of a blacklist. Instead of listing IP addresses to block, a whitelist includes IP addresses that have been approved to deliver email despite blocking measures. It is common practice for ISPs to maintain both a blacklist and a whitelist. IGFOA uses the following trusted email service providers to distribute announcements, newsletters, and surveys:

    • zoomerang.com
    • madmimi.com
    • memberclicks.com
    • readytalk.com
    • webmail.webitects.com

Check your IGFOA membership profile – You can control how much information you receive from IGFOA by adjusting the selections in your on-line IGFOA membership directory listing.  Use the Members Login at http://www.igfoa.org to access My Profile.  Your membership profile contains a field called Notices and Member News.  Here you can indicate the type of IGFOA news and information you wish to receive.  You have the following options:

    • All Notices – select this to receive all announcements included below from IGFOA
    • General News and Announcements – select this to receive only general membership information, training announcements and e-newsletters.  This category included in All Notices.
    • Jobline – select this to receive the weekly IGFOA Jobline newsletter.  This category included in All Notices.
    • Legislative Updates – select this option to receive periodic legislative news.  This category included in All Notices.
    • Surveys – select this to receive periodic surveys.  This category included in All Notices.
    • None – select this option to be removed from IGFOA e-mailing lists.  Please allow 30 days for this selection to be applied to all IGFOA e-mail lists.

You may select multiple options by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on a selection.  If None is part of a multiple selection set, it will override all other selections,

Refrain from “unsubscribing” from an IGFOA e-mail announcement – our e-mail delivery services include an automatic unsubscribe feature to comply with federal regulations.  If you follow the instructions to unsubscribe from an IGFOA generated e-mail, it is very difficult to add your e-mail back into the IGFOA distribution list.  Only use the unsubscribe option if you do not wish to receive any type of information from IGFOA.

 

Get IGFOA e-mail to your inbox – e-mails may get through your server only to land in your junk or trash folder in your email client.  Set up a rule or preference to automatically allow any e-mail message containing IGFOA to go to your inbox.  Another option is to create a separate inbox just for IGFOA e-mail.

 

How will you know if you are missing e-mail announcements?  If you don’t recall receiving an email from IGFOA during the past week, try the following steps:

    • search your email folders for IGFOA
    • visit your Member Profile (see instructions in #3 above) and make review your Notices and Members News selections
    • contact your IT staff to assure the email services IGFOA uses are getting past your server
