Current agreements with the Vice President and the GSLIS office
a. Again, VP is required to review for content and proofing
b. Contracted with the GSLIS office to automatically send out any
one flyer to both Email Blast and TV Wall.
c. But, the TV Wall uses PPT, so the flyer has to be in landscape
format. If two or more flyers are sent out in a given week, LISSA
VP has to specify which has the higher priority in a schedule, as
the office can only email blast/TV Wall one flyer per week.
Email Blast
