  1. Click on Tools, then Rules & Alerts

Are the messages archived for me to access later?
Presently, the listserv messages are not archived for access on the website. If there is a message that you lost from your own email archives, your best option is to send a message to the listserv to ask for the information.  More than likely, another listserv member will have the information you are requesting.

I have added myself to the listserv but I am still not receiving messages. Now what?
Have you checked with your IT department to see if a firewall setting is preventing you from receiving the messages sent from the listserv? Some of our members' e-mails have had the listserv messages mistaken as Spam. Please check with your IT department and let them know that you are expecting messages from [email protected] with "ncihc-members:" in the subject line.

As an organizational member, how do I add additional subscribers?
Simply send a request to [email protected] with the email addresses for up to five additional subscribers beyond the primary subscriber for your organization.  Once your active organizational membership status is confirmed, the subscribers will be added.

Why does my profile show that it was modified by someone else?
Frequently, web administrators may update your profile for various reasons. The profile contains not only the information visible to the profile owner but additional information that we use for the NCIHC database and records, such as payment information, membership data, and other details that we may have a need to update and modify from time to time. Only a limited number of web administration staff have the ability to modify your profile for the reasons listed above.
