We DO have a Western Association listserv. It would be nice if people started using it, as the intended purpose was for communications on Western business related items such as the annual meeting.

There are two ways to subscribe:

You may sign up on the Western web site at:
http://www.westernrcd.org/join.html

Note that this method requires registration on Yahoo, so if you are not already a Yahoo member, it may take up to a couple hours to get a password  to complete the process. The EASIEST and quickest way to subscribe is to send a blank email FROM THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU WANT SUBSCRIBED ON THE LISTSERV, to the following email address:

westernrcd-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Thanks for your assistance, and we appreciate your efforts to make this work. (I know many of you are already on this list). Creating a listserv was part of the strategic efforts we began at the 2003 Western annual meeting, and the mechanism has been in place since February of 2003, and there have been several emails on the national listserv inviting folks to join. We have about 80 people on the list, and the primary purpose is for Western Association business such as the conference and year round business by the officers. Unfortunately, none of the officers are using the list, in spite of personal emails and requests to participate.

Thanks for your efforts. Making this listserv a functioning part of the Western Association is a direct and highly visible measure of our efforts to create -- and follow through on -- our strategic plan.
