APPAM Mailing Lists
APPAM has two mailing lists that members or approved third parties may rent for one-time use to send materials via regular mail. Please note that APPAM never provides email addresses to third parties under any circumstances.
Eligible Uses for the APPAM Mailing Lists
APPAM will only provide lists for purposes that comply with the association's mission to "improve public policy and management by fostering excellence in research, analysis and education." Purposes that meet this criterion include announcements of research publications and publication of educational materials for the field, announcements about new educational programs, grant announcements, conference announcements and calls for proposals, and news of organizational activities that the APPAM office determines would be of general interest to the requested list.
All list rental is for one-time use only and lists must be destroyed after that one use. APPAM will not provide lists to organizations that sell services unrelated to the direct practice of research, analysis or education in the field, nor will APPAM provide lists to organizations that resell lists to other parties.
Pricing
The APPAM Individual Members mailing list is available to members for a rental fee of $300. This list may be rented by non-members at the rate of $550. These fees do not depend on the number of addresses on the list. All lists are provided in electronic format according the specifications of the request. APPAM does not print labels or use other print formats for lists. Please note, the lists do not include email addresses.
Pending the approval of information to be mailed, the APPAM Institutional Representatives mailing list may be provided to members free of charge. This list is not available to non-members.
