Local Leader Tools - Local Email Utility

Local Association Presidents:

The Local Email Utility, available to you and your designees, is a useful tool for you to quickly email all your members without the need to create and maintain a separate database of member email addresses.

Your access carried over on September 1 (as long as you remained president).  After September 1, your designees from the prior year were deleted and you need to log in to Local Leader Tools to set up your designee(s) for the current membership year.

If you have any questions about this tool, please contact PSEA-Financial Management at 800-944-7732.
