AHVRP LISTSERV® GROUPS
 

Overview & Instructions
The Association for Healthcare Volunteer Resource Professionals (AHVRP) has created an automated email discussion forum designed for interactive discussions with your 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 three LISTSERV® options:

  • DVS LISTSERV® - for general questions/comments.This forum allows AHVRP members to communicate to other DVS's who work in an hospital environment.

  • 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.

  • Hospice LISTSERV® - for general questions or comments. This forum will allow AHVRP members to communicate to other DVSes who work in a Hospice.

NOTE: An AHVRP staff member will moderate the LISTSERV®emails to ensure that only appropriate content and non-spam items are sent to you. It is very important to include a subject for those who are searching archives. Messages not including a subject will not be approved. 

LISTSERV® Etiquette

  • Include a signature tag on all messages. Provide your name, affiliation, location, and e-mail address.
  • Clearly state your topic 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.
  • When replying to a messge put your response first and delete any header information or information that is not relevant to your topic.
  • 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."
  • Do not reply to the entire list unless it is information relevant to your topic. Send personal responses like "thank you," to the individual and not to the entire list.
  • Please do not send administrative messages, such as remove me from the list, through the LISTSERV®. Simply contact AHVRP at 312-422-3939 for assistance with updating your email address or being removed from the list.
