State Chapter Email List Policy

Agreement

This form must be completed by ASMBS State Chapter Presidents (or their designees) to request access to member or potential member email addresses within their respective state. The purpose of this form is to ensure that all data requests and related communications comply with ASMBS privacy and data protection policies. Upon request, ASMBS will provide State Chapters with an email contact list of Society members residing in the state or geographic region in which the chapter is located, at no cost. All requests are reviewed and approved by the ASMBS National Office before any contact information is released or any communication is distributed. The email contacts provided by ASMBS may only be used by the State Chapter and its representatives for official State Chapter business—such as event announcements, membership recruitment, advocacy efforts, and educational outreach—and may not be used to advertise or promote a surgical or medical practice or any event not sponsored by the State Chapter and/or ASMBS. Each State Chapter must include an opt-out mechanism in all communications and must promptly report any opt-out requests to the ASMBS Membership team. State Chapter Presidents assume full responsibility for ensuring compliance with this policy.
