FAQ (frequently asked questions) by Leaders

I would like to invite non-chapter members to a Vivit meeting or event. Is there a way to send a message to Vivit members who are not in my Chapter or SIG?

Your Vivit Liaison, Stephanie Konkoy or Annemarie Stuiver, can send a bulk email from the back-end of the Vivit website on your behalf. The only thing you have to do is to complete a form that you can find at the Chapter/SIG Leader Pages, Vivit Marketing Material, Chapter Leader Request to Contact Members. Here is the link to that page:  http://www.vivit-worldwide.org/?page=ContactRequest.
