Publish association announcement

What is this?

With Publish association announcement you send an official message from the association to all member choirs. Typical occasions: invitations to the AGM, new funding programs, bylaw changes, festival registrations, condolences, minutes of general meetings.

The announcement appears at recipients in several places — bell icon in the header, Notifications area in app and web — and is also sent by email.

How to publish an announcement

1. Open Association menu > Announcements and click "New announcement".
2. Enter a meaningful title — it appears as the push notification and in the email subject line.
3. Write the content in the editor. Use paragraphs, lists and links for good readability.
4. Attach files (optional) — PDFs, images, Office documents.
5. Choose the recipients: by default all member choirs. Optionally you can pick a selection (e.g. only choirs in a certain region).
6. Publish the announcement. Push notification and email are sent immediately.

What recipients see

• Push notification on the smartphone
• Entry in the bell icon in the header (web and app)
• Email to the stored address with the association logo
• Entry in the choir's association announcements archive — readable permanently

Permission

You need association.manage to publish association announcements. Registered association staff have this.

Tips

• Write titles precisely — "Program spring conference 2026 + registration link" is better than "Important info!".
• Use attachments instead of long walls of text — a short intro plus PDF is read better than a 1,000-word letter.
• Plan big announcements early — send invitations to conferences with at least 6 weeks lead time so boards can put them on their meeting agendas.
• Watch the announcement frequency — too many announcements lead to push fatigue and falling attention.
