[PMAGList] Welcome to the PMAG listserve!

[Tod T. Companion, Ph.D.]

Greetings Fellow PMI/PMF Alumni!

The Board of Directors and the membership of PMAG would like to welcome you 
to our email list. Many of you have likely been on our email list for some 
time, but we've made substantial changes to it's operation, so we wanted to 
globally welcome everyone (including some 200 new members) and describe how 
the new listserve functions work. As well, we are excited to tell you we've 
relaunched the PMAG website at www.pmag.org

First, this list is for all PMI/F alumni, current PMI/Fs, and supporters of 
the program.   You do not need to be a dues paying member of PMAG to 
belong. This list is used merely to inform you of changes in the PMI 
program (including the change of the name to PMF!), alumni events, and as a 
networking tool. This is a dynamic time for the program, and OPM has 
contacted us regularly to ask what our membership thinks of various aspects 
of the program and their proposed changes. There have been requests for 
information, and there's likely a survey of former PMIs in federal service 
on it's way.

Second, your membership in this list will now be manageable by you. If you 
wish to change your email address or make any other changes to your 
membership in the list, visit 
<http://lists.prograde.net/mailman/options/pmaglist>, and enter the email 
address at which you received this message, and click the "Remind" button. 
Your list password will be sent to that email address. You can then log in 
at the same web page using this password to configure your preferences and 
target email address.  You can change your password in this fashion and 
most importantly you can   change your email address, if needed.  This 
website will be included at the bottom of all future emails.  As long as 
you can still receive email at your current address you can initiate this 
process at any time.

We realize that you likely get a great deal of email - it's as helpful as 
it is frustrating. That's why we deliberately limit the number of emails 
that we send to the membership and the PMAG listserve is closed (only the 
PMAG officers may send emails to it directly).   We hope that the addition 
of these account management abilities will make this listserve even more 
useful to you and will enhance our ability to maintain the network of alums 
both inside and outside of Government and with current Fellows.  Thanks for 
your assistance in maintaining that network!

Finally, we'd like to highlight our improved email contact list:

Dear President Kenade.

         Three boys want to go to the moon this summer.
         There name's are Carlton Crow Carter. Charles Smith. and John 
Thomas Morgan.
         Will you please get our space suits ready for us?
         And we need freeze guns too.
         We are eight years old.
         We want to know if an animal can go to?
         We want to take a dog named Missy Moo Carter.

                                 Carlton Crow Carter
                                 Albany Georgia
