    Sending Mass Emails to Members Create a group folder titled Semester Year Membership List (e.g., Fall 07 Membership

    List) in Lotus Notes Copy all email addresses from the reconciled MAD and import them into the Lotus Notes

    group folder Insert Undisclosed Recipient into the To field when sending a mass email

    This will prevent members email addresses from being displayed to all recipients

    Insert the member group folder (i.e., Fall 07 Membership List) into the Bcc field Only officers/directors, along with the Faculty Advisor, have password authorization to

    access Lotus Notes, and therefore, can send mass emails If an email is returned due to an incorrect email address, the officer/director who sent the

    email will have to contact the intended recipient to obtain the correct email address.Oncea correct email address is received, the Lotus Notes group folder must be updated by theofficer/director who received the information

    Contact can be made by phone or in person

    NOTE: The Lotus Notes email account is intended for the sole purpose of contacting BAP membersabout BAP events and information. Lotus Notes may not be used for any other reason. Lotus Notesshould NEVER be used as a means to distribute promotional emails

    Area Access & AuthorizationThere are certain areas in BAP that need to be secure. Not only do certain areas need to be secure fromoutside sources, many of these areas need to be secure and segregated from the different officers,directors, members, and faculty. Restricted access and authorization will ensure that desired levels ofinternal controls are maintained and that checks and balances are in place to guard against fraud and

    error.

    All passwords/keys must be changed/handed in immediately following compromise of the password orimmediately following any officer/director/Faculty Advisor/member that is no longer regarded as anauthorized person.

    The following table is a list of areas that are protected by specific authorization as well as a securitymeasure (i.e. key, password, combination):

    * The key is located in the accounting office (BEH 415) and can be obtained by any BAP memberduring normal accounting office hours for access to the BAP office

    HOW TO PLAY: Like regular BINGO, the goal ofthis game is to get four-

    in-a-row (vertically, diagonally, or horizontally). To achieve this goal, youmust go around to the different firms and talk to them: maybe ask aboutinternships or travel (hint hint). Each firm has an assigned question, andif you ask this question (or something similar), they will place a stickeron their logo. When you have BINGO, please write your name on the cardand drop it in the designated fish bowl to win a prize at the end of thebanquet.

    We have planned this activity to help our members network and socializewith the professionals, so even if you have BINGO (or are not a fan of thegame), we still encourage you to talk to the professionals from the

    At our banquet, we hosted a donation drive to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund for the Virginia Tech tragedy. Thanto the generosity demonstrated at the banquet, we were able to contribute to the cause. For more information

    regarding the fund we are donating to, please visit http://www.vt.edu/tragedy/memorial_fund.php.

    We also implemented a new networking game for the first time this semester. It was structured like bingo in whichstudents had to ask you a certain question in order to get a sticker on his/her card to make four in a row. We wouldappreciate any feedback from you on how we can improve this game for next semester.

    As one semester ends, we begin to prepare for the next. For Fall 2007 and Spring 2008, Beta Alpha Psi ThetaOmicron will have new officers. Please continue to give your support and guidance to the new officers:

    Dear Beta Alpha Psi Supporter,

    Beta Alpha Psi would like to thank you for your continued support of the Beta Alpha Psi,Theta Omicron Chapter at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Your continued support,dedication, and active participation in our organization allow us to maintain SuperiorChapter status every year.

    In order to be recognized as a Superior Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, a participating chaptermust complete certain requirements. One of those requirements is to attend the yearlyNational Beta Alpha Psi Conference. The conference this year is in Chicago fromAugust 2nd August 4th.

    The National Beta Alpha Psi Conference is an event that helps the Beta Alpha Psi, ThetaOmicron Chapter continue to thrive and to produce quality and effective leaders for thefinancial information industry. The conference teaches new officers and directors tobetter understand the traditions and importance of Beta Alpha Psi.

    Attending such a conference is a rather large financial burden for an organization of oursize. Beta Alpha Psi is an on-campus, non-profit organization that relies on donationsand outside support from organizations such as yours in order to achieve high levels ofsuccess.

    We currently have seven officers and directors registered for the Beta Alpha Psi NationalConference. With airfare, rooms, registration, and other expenses the cost to attend theconference is a substantial portion of our annual revenue.

    Any donation that you can send will greatly help the Beta Alpha Psi, Theta OmicronChapter with the cost of the National Conference and will be greatly appreciated. If youhave any questions or concerns, you can contact Beta Alpha Psi either by email([email protected]) or by phone (702-895-3592).

    Again, I would like to thank you for your time and your continued support of Beta AlphaPsi, Theta Omicron Chapter at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

    Sincerely,

    Ryan Enlow

    President, Beta Alpha PsiTheta Omicron ChapterUniversity of Nevada Las [email protected]
