Presenting – eNewsline!
During the recent NHPA Executive Council winter meeting, financial statements for Newsline Magazine were a major concern. Despite efforts to make it self-supporting, the magazine has been losing money, year after year. A decrease in subscription numbers have contributed to this problem. This also means our information isn’t reaching very many of our members.
In an historic decision, the council has elected to convert Newsline Magazine to be an eNewsline – an online publication that will be available FREE to ALL members of the NHPA, as a benefit of membership.
Beginning in January, 2015, eNewsline will be sent directly to your email inbox. The contents of each issue will also be available on the NHPA website and can be printed in its entirety, for those who wish to flip pages.
Of course, your email addresses will be required for you to receive the mailing, as well as important announcements that will also be a feature of this new service, which will be managed by the company, Constant Contact.
Your address will never be shared or sold to any outside entity, but if you have any concerns, you could create a separate email address specifically for this newsletter.
It is understood that some of our members do not have email or internet access. Each Charter will be encouraged to establish a system for printing and distributing the pages to these individuals.
The Council understands that change is not always readily accepted, but feels that the benefits of THIS change will far outweigh any inconvenience or concerns. Not only will this make our news and information available to ALL members, but it should be an easy and effective recruitment tool.
This online publication will instantly increase the appeal of the NHPA in the eyes of prospective sponsors, as our potential REACH is being multiplied ten-fold.
A detailed presentation is being prepared for the annual delegate’s convention in New York, describing the details of the transition, and more information will be distributed throughout the year, in order to prepare you for this new and exciting benefit of being a member of the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association!
More information about email addresses and current subscriptions will be sent out soon.
Thank You,
NHPA Executive Council
