It’s time for KHPA members to get a fresh look to your newsletter. Cheryl Burkhead will be new editor for 2021.
Your association’s new editor will have artistic license to alter the newsletter format as deemed necessary and utilize newsletter software options. Following is a brief description of the position:
The position of Editor is voluntary, not compensated, and is open to any member of the organization. Editor is not an officer nor has a vote on Executive Committee matters.
Proficient use of a personal computer and software for compiling a newsletter is a must. (Microsoft Publisher is the current soft-ware used. The new editor can opt to use software of his/her choice to produce the newsletter.)
The ability to email large numbers of newsletters at a time (We recommend splitting the lists by alphabet and keep the groups small (less than 75) so they do not show up as a mass email ‘spam’ to the recipient’s email filters.
The newsletter is published quarterly, so it does not require a large amount of ongoing time input.
Current time frame for release of issues is per quarter year:
1st quarter– promote the spring KHPA conference;
2nd quarter- to promote the KHPA booth and entries at Kansas State Fair;
3rd quarter- to promote the fall KHPA conference;
Fourth quarter to wrap the year up.
The release month dates can be altered as deemed necessary, but the Executive Committee wishes to make certain Cappings promotes these special events as well as possible.
Contact KHPA officers to obtain reports to place into the newsletter.
Search for news items on a state, regional, national, etc. level that may be of interest to KHPA members.
An email list is sent by Treasurer each quarter so newsletters can be sent out by email, saving KHPA printing and postage expenses.
Printed copies are mailed out to those who request a paper copy. Currently, Northeast Ks. Beekeepers Association volunteers theuse of their printer for this purpose.
