issues as check fraud, productivity standards, Human Resource
challenges - you name it.
Here's how it works:

their operations. Sit back and watch as operations challenges
are discussed between the members - while you benefit from
their knowledge.

TAWPI Discussion Group FAQ
What is TAWPI's Listserve Discussion Group?
A listserve is web-based computer program that distributes email
messages to members of the list – in this case, TAWPI
membership. A listserve member can share information
with other members of the list by sending and receiving messages. Listserve
messages come to members through regular email.
How much does it cost to join the TAWPI Listserve Discussion Group?
Being a part of our listserve is FREE! The only requirement is to be a current member of TAWPI.
How does it work?
Whenever a participant asks a question or responds to a question,
you will receive the message on your own email address.
Do I have to ask a question to get messages?
No. All questions and responses between all participants
on the listserve will be directed to your email address.
Will my email become flooded with messages that I don’t want?
The number of email messages you receive depends on the level of activity within the listserve. Since the TAWPI listserve is targeted to various segments of the membership, the activity should not be overwhelming. Remember, if you receive more email messages, you receive more information!
How can I manage the number of messages that flow over the listserve?
There are a number of ways to manage your participation in a
listserve.
If you have an alternative (personal) email
address to the one you use in
your working environment, you
might want to start out by registering for the listserve
with that alternative address. That way, you can monitor
the activity that you receive. When you determine the
value of the messages, you can then decide where you want
to receive them. Also, it’s easy to scan messages
for content. All messages should have precise information
in the subject line of the email identifying what the message
is about. It’s easy to delete without reading
(be careful you don’t miss something important!), or
to move the message to a folder to read later.
Do I have to sign up for the listserve to have access to the shared information?
Yes.
Once I register for the listserve, do I
have to stay on it as long as I’m a TAWPI member?
No. You can activate or de-activate your participation at any time. (If you deactivate, you will not have access to archived messages.)
How can I be sure that the information that is shared is practical and relevant?
When you sign up for a listserve, you will receive a description
of listserve etiquette. Listserves are not a mechanism
to support casual conversation.
All questions and answers
should be relevant to business needs of the participants. The
listserve will have TAWPI staff assigned to oversee content and
to help with problems.
How do I sign up?
If you’re a TAWPI member, you're already signed up. Simply
sign into the members only section and select "TAWPI Listserve" to
post a question or read the archives. Questions or problems? e-mail
