Listserv Overview & Instructions
A.S.P.E.N. Listservs cover a variety of topics and are one of the most valued benefits of being a member. Listservs are available as a complimentary benefit of A.S.P.E.N. membership, and you have the option of subscribing or unsubscribing yourself to and from A.S.P.E.N. Listservs. A brief description of the two categories of listservs is offered below:
ASPENet Listserv
ASPENet is an interdisciplinary listserv with broad discussion topics relating to issues across the field of nutrition support therapy. It is considered the general list as it is used to facilitate conversations around areas of interest not specific to one of the sections.
Section Listservs
Section Listservs are for communities of members with similar interests whether practice based or discipline specific. Access to a Section Listserv requires membership in the related section, which is free to all A.S.P.E.N. members.
