Information Exchange

One of the strengths of BDPA Rhode Island Chapter is our internal & external communication processes. We have taken seriously the pledge to erase our former image as "the best kept secret in the community." Outside of the monthly program meetings, several communication vehicles are in place to effectively communicate with membership and other interested parties. The purpose of these communications vehicles is to share the ongoing programs, services and community outreach planned & delivered by BDPA Rhode Island Chapter. Our communications vehicles include the following:

1. The monthly “InfoExchange” newsletter (printed & online) from the National Office

2. The BDPA Rhode Island web site (www.bdpa-ri.org)

3. Monthly membership mailings

4. Online e-mail communities (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BDPA-RI) commonly referred to as
4. eGroups.

5. A voicemail and messaging system (401-461-2372) announces upcoming events and accepts
5. messages for follow-up contact.
