sweet. I had forgotten about this. Much better way to go. Replies should be to the sender or to a board. That's not just my opinion, it's actually one of the main points in a top book titled Send: the Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home by David Shipley
It would be great if we got CBS to support the idea Vince proposes by:
- publicizing this site or whatever forum (Yahoo, etc.) we decide to use alongside the way to sign up for the email listserv. People need to know upfront what the channels of communication are, where the repository of info is, that it's an active exchange.
- reaching out to all existent and newly forming CBS alum groups to tell them that every event should include an oral reminder to boost the value of a CBS degree, go out of your way to help and hire CBS alums, make the network work.
What do people think? Other things we should ask for or suggest? Is this the forum to use or do people think a Yahoo group has benefits?
I am willing to try to get this going with our Alumni Office. I'd anticipate reaching out to the Alumni Office and NY Club officers simultaneously to get people on board and get their ideas/feedback.
Not only will this cut down on emails, but this forum should also serve as a way to record and organize all of the useful information that is exchanged between CBS alums. It should also become a 'one stop shop' of useful information and is not as clumsy as simple email exchanges where useful information can be easily lost, deleted, buried or ignored.
