Subject: [board] new board setup
Message-ID: <CC7977B2-4056-4998-AC9B-482490C9FD81@marinbees.org>

Although this email is addressed to your personal email accounts, all board members should now have accounts on marinbees.org, and should be receiving email at their official board addresses:
education at marinbees.org -> justinstrom at marinbees.org
communications at marinbees.org -> jim at marinbees.org
outreach at marinbees.org -> danapepp at marinbees.org, tom at marinbees.org
membership at marinbees.org -> jim at marinbees.org
president at marinbees.org -> jenniferberry at marinbees.org, robert at marinbees.org
secretary at marinbees.org -> davidpotovsky at marinbees.org
treasurer at marinbees.org -> gary at marinbees.org

In order to automatically have official email come from your official board email address, please do the following:
- login to Google Mail with your @marinbees.org address (I believe Jennifer distributed initial passwords)
- click on the "Settings" icon (top right gear icon)
- click on "See all settings"
- click on "Accounts" in the top list of settings
- if you haven't already done so, change your password to something only you will know
  - click on "Google Account Settings" (this should bring up a new tab/window)
  - click on "Google Password"
  - enter new password
  - close this tab and return to the "Settings" / "Accounts" tab
- in the "Send mail as:" section, click on "Add another email address"
- enter your official board email address in the Email address box
  - Justin -> education at marinbees.org
  - Dana and Tom -> outreach at marinbees.org
  - Robert -> president at marinbees.org
  - David -> secretary at marinbees.org
  - Gary -> treasurer at marinbees.org
- ensure "Treat as an alias" is checked
- click on "Next Step"
- in the "Add another email address you own" "Verify your email address" window, click on "Send Verification"
- go back to your marinbees.org email inbox and open the "marinbees.org Confirmation - Send Mail as <group>@marinbees.org" and follow the directions
- go back to "Settings" -> "See all settings" -> "Accounts" and click on "<group>@marinbees.org make default"
Dana and Tom will need to be treated specially since they both should change their default email address. There will end up being two "requests for confirmation" emails for their email group/role. I suggest they coordinate between them and they each only respond to one of the two requests for confirmation. It might be easiest if they do it one at a time and send email to the other when they've made their default email address "outreach at marinbees.org".
Note: this only affects email sent from the marinbees.org accounts. It won't affect email sent from your non-marinbees.org account. I suggest you only use the marinbees.org account for organization email and don't sign up the account for any mailing list.
To keep a record of your communications (outbound as well as inbound) please use "Reply All" or otherwise ensure that your
	 "<group>@marinbees.org"
is Cc'd on any official group communication.
Any issues or suggestions please contact me.

Hi Marin Bee board,

Jim, a huge thanks to you, for managing the Buzz and for your correspondence.  I/we so appreciate you!

And, I have to be honest.  I don?t want another email account.  I have 5 of them (various reasons and roles) and really don?t want to add a 6th.
Can I just receive Marin Bee communication on my Gmail account?

On another note, I found out from the Marin Fair folks that we (the club) are supposed to provide judges for the honey contest at the Fair.
I think we should actually meet sooner, rather than later.

Thanks, all!

Dana

Because this is sent from my iPhone, please excuse any typos.

Dana and David have requested the use of their non-marinbees.org email addresses for their official group communications. Robert has expressed similar preferences in the past. With Jennifer's use of roles and updating the groups to allow members outside the organization, I think we can accommodate this request.
Any objections to allowing non-marinbees.org email addresses for official organization email?

I was objecting to using gmail accounts because they were very torturous and hard to use. I somehow feel they there is a better technical setup with these latest revisions, and we do need to keep record of corporate communications, thus outside email accounts might work if the sending person switched their SIG to that role when generating an email, which would likely send a CCC or BCC of any outgoing emails to that gmail account. Incoming emails would have no record, which would be s problem.

Would we be able to dismiss the record keeping requirements for those positions? I would have doubts about that.

As long as <group>@marinbees.org is included in the conversation (either via "Reply All" or an explicit "Cc"), we'll have a record of all organization email, regardless of individual group members' email addresses.

Agreed.
I think reply all is the easiest option.
Maybe let?s add ?communication? to our board agenda.
Are we meeting before the June meeting?

Thanks,
Dana

It looks like most people can only make 6/3, and if we aim for 10:30sm, can everyone make that time slot?

It?s very exciting to actually be getting around the bend to where we might be able to start functioning. If everyone could send your list of action items and discussion points, we can get an agenda flushed out.

I?d like to hive special thanks to Jim who had been doing extraordinary and devoted work on our tech infrastructure, revising a number of areas that will make all of our lives functional.

Give me a thumbs up if you can be there on Wednesday, June 3 from 10:30am-Noon. Thank you all for having committed your time!

Good morning,

Seems like most folks (including Gary and Justin) can make it at/after 5 on Thursday, before the meeting.  Can we meet then?

Thanks,
Dana

Can everyone commit to Thursday, June 4, 5pm., before the meeting?

Give me the thumbs up that you can be there, and send me your auction items or point for discussion, and I will organize the agenda.

Thank you all.

Justin, please Cc: education at marinbees.org for any "official" club email. We'd like to keep a record of it (I think). We should discuss this at the board meeting on 6/4/26. This may also provide you with a copy which helps show the email was accepted and delivered to at least one participant.

At 6:30 PM, we will move up to the Log Cabin, where everyone will have an opportunity to introduce themselves during a meet-and-greet session. If you are new to beekeeping or need assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know ? we are here to help.

Would you like to monitor pollinator plants in your area? HiveTracks is an advanced and continuously evolving system created by beekeepers, for beekeepers, and it offers a wide range of useful tools and features for hive management.
