Increase two-way connections through new regional listservs
Join OSBA's new e-mail service designed to increase communication between OSBA members, region by region. 

As part of the new governance structure, OSBA created new e-mail listservs for each region. Join this service and strengthen your own voice -- and ultimately the voice of OSBA as we advocate for children. This is a great way to share ideas about legislative issues and regional elections; plus, you'll get to know your OSBA Board and Legislative Policy Committee members.

The lists are voluntary, or "opt in" as they say, and connect you with others in your region.

It's easy to join and participate. You can register by sending an e-mail with your name, district name, your title (examples: board member, board officer, superintendent, president, secretary) and your e-mail address to the List Administrator, and OSBA will add you to your regional group.

You can also opt out of the list anytime -- just follow the instructions at the bottom of any message or return to this page and send a request to Unsubscribe.

Strengthen your voice and join your group!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What will happen after I sign up?
OSBA staff will add you to the listserv and send you a confirmation message. You should be able to send and receive messages from the list as soon as you've received the confirmation.

Where will the messages come from?
The messages will come "from" other listserv members and will be sent "to" the listserv address (region1@list.osba.org, region2@list.osba.org, etc). You will receive a "bc" or "blind copy" so other members do not see your e-mail address. To ensure delivery of listserv messages make sure messages coming from the list.osba.org domain are not blocked by your e-mail spam filter. 

How can I participate?
Once you've received the welcome message you'll be able to send messages to the list, just like sending other e-mail messages. Simply send an e-mail to the listserv address for your region (region1@list.osba.org, region2@list.osba.org, etc) and it will be sent to all subscribers in your region.

What region am I in?
You can find your region on the Map of Regions. (41k ) (Revised 6/6/08)

How many messages can I expect to receive?
We're just starting the listservs so we're not really able to answer that question. It depends on how many sign up and how involved they choose to be. We expect some regions to be more active than others.

What else do I need to know?
Watch out for a common listserv "blooper" many new subscribers make when "replying" to a message from a listserv. If you click "Reply" your message will be sent only to the "sender." If you click "Reply to All" your message will go to the entire subscriber list. Make sure you are sending your message to who you think you are before hitting "send."

How can I "unsubscribe?"
Follow the instructions at the bottom of any listserv message or return to this page and send a request to unsubscribe. You can also call OSBA, 1-800-578-OSBA.
