AITP Pittsburgh Chapter now has an emailing list that is hosted on Yahoo Groups. Send an email to aitp-pgh-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to add yourself to the list. While it is an open membership list, only the owner/moderator (your electronic communications director) can send email via the group list. This prevents members or others from using the list for spamming.

It is not necessary to join Yahoo, though you can optionally choose to do that.

For additional information, including a walk-through, complete with screen shots, see the Email List page.
