How do I ensure I receive emails from the AC?

To make sure that you always receive emails from the AC, please be sure that emails are not going into your junk folder. To do this, you need to whitelist DoNotReply@ConnectedCommunity.org and notifications@associationforcoaching.com.

If you continue to have trouble receiving emails after following the steps below for your email service provider, please check the following:

  • Verify that your email address is accurate on your member profile page on www.acconnect.org.
  • Verify your email subscription level on the Community Notifications page under My Account on your profile.
  •  

    Due to the high volume of email generated from our community, some email service providers (ESPs) incorrectly identify the email as spam. Whitelisting lets your email service provider know that mail received from this address is from a trusted and secure source.

    Follow the appropriate instructions below for the email service provider you are using to add us to your white list and to ensure that you receive our emails.

    If you use your work email address (e.g., name@higherlogic.com), you'll need to work with your IT department or vendor. Please ask them to add the domain connectedcommunity.org to your organization's whitelist.
