New Member E-Mail List

Over the past year, USOA has worked to improve our electronic communication systems. We have created e-mail lists for all USOA chapters. We have also created a new e-email list on Google Groups for all USOA members. This list replaces an outdated members-only list. It is a restricted list so only members can send or receive email to the list. USOA members can click here to read more about the list and access the address.
