Email Listservs

 

The Sustainable Land Use committee maintains 2 listservs, both sponsored by the Loma Prieta Chapter Executive Committee.

 

1.       "Loma Prieta Chapter Sustainable Land Use Discussion", known as “LOMAP FORUM”, is a free-flowing discussion.  The purpose of this list is to facilitate communication among the Loma Prieta Chapter's Sustainable Land Use (SLU) committee and Sierra Club members interested in land use issues, as well as providing a forum for discussion of interesting and provocative land use issues.

A.      Only subscribers can post to:  LOMAP-LANDUSE-FORUM@lists.sierraclub.org.

 

B.      To subscribe to this listserv, simply fill out the on-line form at: www.sierraclub.org/memberlists.

                  Under "Name of List" write: LOMAP-LANDUSE-FORUM

 

C.      Be sure to have your membership number available.  It is located on the mailing label of the

newsletter and Sierra magazine, or call the office:  650-390-8411.

 

2.       “Loma Prieta Chapter Sustainable Land Use Committee, known as “LOMAP COMM”, is a closed listserv used for strategic committee functions.  It is open to all SLU voting members.  To achieve voting status, you must have attended 3 meetings/year, or are the duly designated representative from any of the 3 regional groups or the political committee.

In addition, any executive committee member of the chapter can request to be placed on this listserv.
