4. Design of Email Communications
Email messages will be designed to have a consistent look and feel by Association
staff so that they are easily identifiable by members and can be easily deleted if
they are not wanted.

5. Timing of Communications
Email messages will generally be sent not more than two months in advance of any
individual CLE, and not more than three months in advance of a special event.

6. Repetition of Messages
The same message can appear in no more than four email blasts, with the exception
of certain routine reminders that may be repeated throughout the year.

7. Appeal to Members
Mass email must be of credible interest to at least 1/3 of the recipients.

8. Method of Distribution
All email solicitation must be sent though StreamSend. Blast emails cannot be sent
through LSBA email accounts; to do otherwise would open the LSBA domain to
be viewed as a “spammer.”

powers in the interest of the organization, and not in their own interest or in the interest
of another entity or person. Any duality on the part of any member of the Board shall
be disclosed to the Board, and made a matter of record through an annual procedure,
and also in the event such interest should become a matter for Board action.

Any Board member having a conflict of interest as determined by the Board shall not
vote or use his/her personal influence on the matter and he/she shall not be counted in
determining the quorum for the issue in question. The minutes of the meeting shall
