Wouldn't it be great if there were a resource that suggested whom to
contact and the actual email addresses, especially for newer people?
Or is this a guarded trade secret? Sounds like you are on a first
name basis with these people. Not all of us are *smile*
Some of them, yes, I am on a first name basis with... but then
virtually anyone can be too... they are all very friendly and
helpful... once you contact them once, you'll be on first name basis
with them.
None of the people nor organisations listed below were trade secrets.
Chuck posts to the AUGD list every week, as does Fred & Lynn... in
fact both have posted their weekly announcements in the last hour or so
Sandy's email address is listed in each issue of the Apple User Group
Bulletin each month... and now the AUGR team are too (well, they are
just the Apple User Group Advisory Board)
The Apple Regional Liaisons have been listed on Apple's website for
years.
The same with User Groups 'in your area'
The rest of the suggested list will be unique to every individual User
Group
A while ago I posted a suggested list of Publicity Contacts that
Australian Apple User Groups could utilise
It IS very Australian focused, but may give other User Groups more
ideas on local organisations they can include on their own lists

Chuck,
As usual we were left off the weekly calendar.
Are you trying to tell us something?
I'm sure Chuck doesn't deliberately leave any Apple User Group off
his list
of forthcoming meetings :)
But your query got me thinking about a few things...
How many Apple User Groups actually maintain a PR mailing list?
If you do, who do you include on it?
Is Chuck from the MUG Center on it?
Sandy, the Editor of the Apple User Group Bulletin?
The Apple User Group Resources website team?
Your Apple Regional Liaison?
Lynn and Fred's InfoManger?
Are other Apple User Groups in your 'area' included?
What about PC-based or Adobe Based user groups?
Your local newspapers, community radio and TV stations?
Local Mayor and other local councillors?
Your local Apple Retail store?
Your local Apple Reseller?
Your sponsors and advertisers?
What about your own Committee/Board of Directors? and even your own
members?
Anyone else?
What information do you send out to the PR List?
Just an announcement about your next meeting?
What about a teaser for the next THREE meetings?
How often do you send them out? Weekly, Monthly, or just when you
have a
'major' event?
How far in advance of your meeting do you send them? The day
before? A week
before? Two weeks before?
Do you send HTML based emails? Or just Plain Text?
Do you keep an archive online of your past Press Releases on your
website?
If you don't have a PR mailing list, why don't you?
PLEASE REPLY TO THE *_LIST_* so everyone can benefit from your
responses :)
