  • Differences of opinion should be expressed constructively and in alignment with NADTA’s ethical principles. 

Moderation & Administration

  • Messages posted to the e-list (listserv) should not be forwarded outside the e-list (listserv) without permission from the original author. 
  • Participation in the e-list (listserv) is optional, and members may join or unsubscribe at any time. 

Accessing Available E-Lists (Listservs)

To join an e-list, you will navigate to your NADTA Profile and click the "My Profile" link. From here, go to the "My Features" Tab and select "E-List" at the bottom on the list.

From here, you can "Subscribe" to all of the e-lists you would like to join. You can also manage your email delivery settings. If this is "On" you will receive email notifications of posts in the e-list. If this is "Off" you will only see the posts when you login to your account and check the e-list through your membership portal. 

Did you know?

You can message other NADTA members through your NADTA Membership Portal. To send a message, you will need to go to "Connections" and browse the directory to find someone you would like to connect with such as your Region Rep or other Board Members. This is the best way to communicate directly with your NADTA Board Members and other NADTA Committee members.
