USDA Technical difficulties? (updated 6/5/2019)

Several Forest Service participants let us know they still did not receive the Managing by Network email this week. We are sending out class notifications on our regular schedule - Friday with a reminder this Tuesday.

We suspect this may be related to the change in email from @fs.fed.us to @USDA.gov. Please be sure you have subscribed t o Mail Chimp with your @usda.gov email address.

Here's an update from Joe Smith, our federal coordinator, about reporting email issues related to Managing by Network:

Anyone who is not getting e-mails from the Academy should submit the following information to the Spam Abuse team (Spam.Abuse@usda.gov).

Sender address: info@partnership-academy.net
Recipient address: [your email address]
Common text strings from Subject Line: "Managing by Network Session..." or "*REMINDER* Managing by Network Session..."
Date and time expected: Fridays at 11AM EDT, Tuesdays at 11AM EDT
A previous copy of the message: Forward any of the announcements you have previously received.

Be sure to reach out to us if you need additional support to get to class! academy.course@gmail.com
