Optional Yahoo Groups
(join any of these optional groups to suit
your needs) |
|
|
The HPAA provides online
networking, job posts, and mutual assistance using the Yahoo
Groups system and the free "Yahoo ID" password facility.
Each Yahoo group has a
separate subscription list. For each group, you can choose:
-
Individual Emails – receive each message
individually as it is posted. (Default)
-
Daily Digest – receive a single email with the previous day's
messages.
-
No Emails – read the messages with
your browser at your convenience.
The subject line of each HPAA email indicates the name of the group
it was sent to – for example, [HPAA Forum] or [HPAA Jobs]
We recommend that you get a free Yahoo ID if you don't have a
yahoo.com email address.
Get a
Yahoo ID. (If you have a yahoo.com email account, you already
have a Yahoo ID. Your Yahoo ID is the portion of your email address
before "@yahoo.com")
To see and change all of your current group subscriptions easily on one screen,
click here.
Please allow 48 hours for
our volunteers to complete your change.
