TO all. Please share this with your chapters, members, etc.

We are beginning to work on the 2015 VVA Membership Directory. Below is some information which we hope will assist you in this process. Once again, Harris Connect will be assisting us in this process.
If u have any questions, please contact me @ jsternburg@vva.org

Thanks.

I am providing you with information leading into the phoning phase that includes the dates that we will be mailing and broadcasting to members. I wanted you to have this information leading into the phoning phase of the project beginning 12/8/14. I have attached a document labeled "Questions and Answers" that contains answers to questions we find constituents ask most often about the process. These should be helpful to you and any staff members who may field questions during the course of the project.

Once members call us when we mail/email them, we review their contact information (residence address & phone, business title, business name), contracted military info, along with an email address and then let them know that we will email them a link, in the next couple business days, to update their remaining profile fields (business address, mobile phone, spouse and/or children� first names).

They can include all, none or portions of the profile contact information. They also have the option of uploading a photo as well as including a story about themselves for the Veteran Showcase section via the online submission form. Members will then be given with the opportunity to reserve their book and CD package (either hardbound or softbound with a CD-ROM combo, or a searchable data CD) before concluding the phone call. I am including the samples of the optional Tribute print wed like to offer your members as well. These are ones weve done for other organizations. Let me know if youd be interested in us including this for members to purchase along with the book and CD package, the CD, or by itself. All I would need from you is a suitable background image to set this up.

Well be offering any veterans we find through lost trace research a membership at $25.00 above the purchase price of the book and CD package.

The number constituents should call (starting 12/8/14) to update their listing is 1-800-366-7167 (through 3/9/2015).

Here are the key dates/deadlines for phoning and the remainder of the project:

Postcard mailing: @ 12/5/14
(Emails/mailings are done about 2 weeks apart until close of phoning)
1st broadcast/Inbound phone lines open: 12/8/14
2nd communication: @ 12/19/14
3rd communication: @ 1/2/15

Deadline for Data Merge 1/5/15

Outbound phoning starts: 1/12/15
4th communication: @ 1/16/15
5th broadcast email: @ 2/16/15

Last day for updates: @ 3/9/15


Book release: Late July 2015

During the outbound portion of our phoning phase (starting 1/12/2015), we will leave a prerecorded message for anyone whom we do not reach. The attachment labeled "Recording Instructions" contains the instructions you will need to follow in order to record the call, as well as a script.
