Servers
The Virginia Chapter of APCO maintains two list servers as a means of communicating with its members. Subscribers may send messages to all other subscribed Chapter members via the list server; however, currently they are typically used for officers and committee chairs to disseminate information to the membership.
Pertinent instructions for subscribers appear below. Be sure to keep your e-mail address up-to-date with APCO International, and notify the list administrator of any immediate changes to your address.
The Virginia APCO Listserv’s (VA-APCO and VA-APCO-911) are distribution lists and notification forums for the Virginia Chapter of the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials - International, Inc. The lists have been established to provide a means for general communication of messages to Chapter members. Subscriptions include those e-mail addresses listed by APCO International for its members, supplemented by additional addresses available to the Chapter.
[VA-APCO] – This list predominantly includes Active Members (voting membership) of APCO International assigned to the Virginia Chapter, Life Members, and Chapter Officers.
[VA-APCO-911] –
This list predominantly includes Commercial
Members and Members (non-voting
membership) of APCO International assigned to the Virginia Chapter and Chapter Officers/Designees
who generate messages. The Chapter is
also maintaining approved visitor subscriptions and subscriptions for past
members and subscribers who have not renewed membership for a limited time in
order to convey information of pertinent value to
Chapter officers, committee chairs, and other message generators will be
provided sending instructions by the list administrator. Subscribers may request authorization and
instructions for message sending by contacting the List Administrator.
Messages to these lists are sent to everyone on the list; if you want only
limited recipients, senders should use the recipients' individual e-mail address(es) or use a distribution list or nickname list set
up through an e-mail program to send such messages to one or more
recipients. (At the present time, replying to the list will return
your message only to the sender... a new message or a “Reply to All” is required
to send your message to the entire list.)
UNSUBSCRIBING FROM THE LISTSERV:

You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF VA-APCO" command to LISTSERV@ESVA.NET. Type the command in the first line of the message body (not the subject line).
