Update as of Feb. 1, 2017: The Gazette is no longer published, therefore Gazette deadlines a no longer valid. But publishing trips and events in the ourdoors.org still have a deadline.

Dates for Chapter Wide Messaging, via Kintera/Sphere, have specified windows of opportunity for 2017. Please remember to send Hilary Niles your email blast material for approval by the Tuesday (at the latest) before each window. (These are all Friday through Sunday windows.)
And again, as always, you can find email blast windows and approval deadlines in the Volunteers Calendar on Summit!
Contact Hilary Niles if you have any questions about best practices or the process, whether you are new to this or not. For formatting questions, please email AMCactivities@outdoors.org.
Accessing the following links require an account into the Summit Server. If you have lost/forgot how to log in, contact the webmaster.
These dates (as well as approval deadlines) can also be found in the volunteers calendar on Summit. Let Susannah (or the webmaster) know if you have any questions about how to access Summit, where there are many resources to help you, including this folder about communications resources and guidelines.
Logon to the Kintera Sphere system here. New rules: Chapters have 12 blasts that they can use during the year but the frequency is not limited to one per month. As an example, if you want to only do blasts in the spring and fall you can use up your allotment during those times. Read references for producing email blasts.
