NYM e-News

The e-News is our mechanism for sharing timely information about NYM events, announcements and other important news and resources.

All clerks and meeting representatives should subscribe to the e-News and share important content for those not receiving the e-News individually. Please submit items to nymnews@gmail.com, generally by the 25th of each month for email delivery on the 1st of the following month. If you're not sure whether an item is appropriate, please review the guidelines for the NYM Journal first. Otherwise please ask! Subscribe here. The first e-News was published April 2018 and we plan to continue monthly.
