W EEKLY EDITION JULY 18, 2018 Question of the Week: What PSAI Does – and Doesn't Do – with Member Information By Karleen Kos, PSAI Executive Director Each week the PSAI office fields dozens of questions from Members and the general public. We occasionally publish the answers in Association Insight . Question of the Week: I got a suspicious - looking bla st email from a company selling portable sanitation equipment. Apparently, so did a lot of PSAI Members. Did this list come from the PSAI? Does PSAI sell my information? Karleen's reply: I'm sure seeing a blast email that was obviously sent to hundreds of people caused you to raise your eyebrows. I admit that mine went up. Nowadays you don't see this sort of thing very often. The fact that most of the email we all receive has been sent to many hundreds or thousands of recipients is usually invisible to u s. Seeing the names of all the other people who also received that blast is a little jarring – but it is not at all unusual that we would receive the same email communication as other people in the same line of business. The company that sent the email i s a PSAI international supplier Member. Strictly speaking, Members emailing other Members - however it is done - is not a violation of PSAI policy. As you know, most suppliers highly value the access to potential customers they get from PSAI membership . Most operators also appreciate the ability to contact other operators who may be able to help them with business challenges. This cross - communication between members, whether for selling or consultative purposes, is one of the things Members tell us th ey value most highly in our annual survey.
