The credentialing sections least valuable to me, by far. Separately, these days subpoenas include email and hard drives - so haven't found association email risk diminishing.Cindy Buttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573258402483105450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230990064500569489.post-26072361191894035292007-12-06T10:39:00.000-05:002007-12-06T10:39:00.000-05:00I personally see potential legal action from email...I personally see potential legal action from email taglines to be microscopic, especially if you hire people with common sense. One of the mixed results of the CAE program is that it instills the fear of legal action in its candidates. I see assn execs miss out on opportunity and expend extra effort because they drive 1000 miles around risk, rather than make a slight swerve around it.Ben Martin, CAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458543500102665114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230990064500569489.post-41345332721534333892007-12-06T10:07:00.000-05:002007-12-06T10:07:00.000-05:00Scott, you and I have the same position on this.

Referenced post says debate started on ASAE listserve with quote of an association telling employees they cannot include personal political and religious comments in taglines. That's clearly what my post is about (see headline). My post indicates I believe it's fine to use random quotes on OTHER topics. I like quotes in taglines.<BR/>Yes Ben, protecting my association from legal action is part of both my job description and good sense.Cindy Buttshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573258402483105450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230990064500569489.post-80827334272408969592007-12-06T09:22:00.000-05:002007-12-06T09:22:00.000-05:00I think the fear of lawyers is getting to your bet...I think the fear of lawyers is getting to your better senses, Cindy.Ben Martin, CAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458543500102665114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230990064500569489.post-41907822191023194022007-12-06T08:52:00.000-05:002007-12-06T08:52:00.000-05:00For the record, Ben's doesn't seem to be advocatin...For the record, Ben's doesn't seem to be advocating political- or religious-themed taglines; we wouldn't allow that at VAR. He's simply saying our policy here at VAR is to allow for some self-expression, within reason and good taste. My favorite tagline (good taste aside): "I've never killed a man, but I've read a few obituaries with great pleasure." (Clarance Darrow)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
