Hi everyone,
We’re excited to announce that All Central Division Staff now have a Google Workspace account with some new features beyond just email! In additionto division staff, region staff and patrol directors may request an account as well. Requesting a new account is limited to people currently holding a position at the time the account is established and there is no charge. This account will give you access to a variety of useful Google Workspace tools, including Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, and the Division Calendar.
Your new Google Workspace account is one account and for division staff it will receive and send email utilizing two addresses. The first address is formatted firstname.lastname@nspcd.org email address, the second address for Central Division Staff only is formatted position@nspcd.org. The second address will move to the new person when your term concludes and theirs begins. The contents of the account do not transfer.
In order to get the most out of your new Google Workspace account, you’ll want to log in to it on your phone. This will allow you to access your email, contacts, and other important resources on the go.
