Membership Invoice Preferences
Snail mail no more? How to keep email marketing relevant
 
Based on the feedback from last year's Fireside Chats, it appears that the majority of members would prefer to receive their membership dues invoice via email instead of snail mail. Please send a message to Candy Williams to let her know which option works best for you!
