Neither WSMA nor WMEA will sell or give out our members’ email addresses. However, we do send out periodic electronic newsletters to our members in which advertisers can take advantage of advertising directly to our members via email. There are seven different opportunities to advertise throughout the year depending on when and to whom an advertiser is interested in reaching. An ad consists of a 100 word paragraph, a graphic as well as a link. Each newsletter can only accommodate two advertisers. Contact Kenzie Trezise for an example of this opportunity and to reserve your spots for the 2020-21 school year.
