LISTSERV®
Overview & Instructions
The Association for Healthcare Volunteer Resource Professionals (AHVRP) has created an automated email discussion forum designed for interactive discussions with your Director of Volunteer Services (DVS) peers. The LISTSERV® is designed to improve communication and receive immediate answers to your questions from your peers. It also offers a forum for exchanging ideas, which allows you to tap into your community and benefit from their experience, knowledge, and wisdom.
AHVRP offers members two LISTSERV® options:
1) DVS LISTSERV for general questions/comments.
2) RETAIL LISTSERV for retail/gift shop related questions/comments. This forum allows AHVRP members to communicate to other DVS's who also manage their facility's gift shops.
Note: An AHVRP staff member will moderate the LISTSERV®emails to ensure that only appropriate content and non-spam items are sent to you.

LISTSERV® Etiquette
- Include a signature tag on all messages. Provide your name, affiliation, location, and e-mail address.
- State concisely and clearly the topic of your comments in the subject line. This allows members to respond more appropriately to your posting and makes it easier for members to search the archives by subject. Your message will not be released to your peers if a descriptive subject is not included in the subject line.
- Include only the relevant portions of the original message in your reply. Delete any header information and put your response before the original posting.
- Only send a message to the entire list when it contains information that everyone can benefit from.
- Send messages such as "thanks for the information" or "me, too" to individuals--not to the entire list. Do this by using your email application's forwarding option and typing in or cutting and pasting in the email address of the individual to whom you want to respond.
- Do not send administrative messages, such as remove me from the list, through the LISTSERV®. Instead, use the Web interface to change your settings or to remove yourself from a list. If you are changing email addresses, you do not need to remove yourself from the list and rejoin under your new email address. Simply change your settings.
- Warn other list subscribers of lengthy messages either in the subject line or at the beginning of the message body with a line that says "Long Message."
Email Format Subscription Options
There are two ways you can receive your messages see below. To change your format, email ahvrp@aha.org and include in the subject line "Change Email Format" and indicate which you prefer.
- Mail = receieve messages as they are posted
- Digest = recieve one daily message with all the contributions for the day
- No Mail = receive no mail from this mailing list (great for when you are on extended leave or vacation, as this option still allows you to access the list archives.)
