The USATF Georgia Association prides itself in keeping its membership informed. We do this via our website, via Facebook and Twitter, but especially via our email communications as they contain information of specific importance to our membership.
Constant Contact, our email communications tool, give the recipient the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving these emails. Constant Contact tracks these "opt outs" and these email addresses are put on a "no send" list. It is important that you understand that when you take this action, it is permanent. You will never receive another email communication from USATF again. Never, unless you change your email address.
We wanted to make note of this as there were several "opt outs" during our announcements regarding the annual meeting, bylaw revisions and elections. We want you to understand the consequences related to "opting out".
Thank you.
Marlene Atwood
USATF Georgia Association Secretary
