CSL Communication Request

CSL Email Communication Guidelines


Thank you for reviewing and following these best practices for your CSL email communication. CSL communication requests are included in the weekly email to the CSL Field. If you have any questions, or require an email to be sent separately, reach out to Communications@CSL.org.


All communications are reviewed for Associated Press Style, grammar and CSL communication standards.


IMPORTANT: Once your content is submitted, it is considered ready for final review and layout. The only exceptions include event cancellations, speaker cancellations or other unexpected changes that impact the CSL Field.


TRANSLATIONS: If your communication is meant for a Spanish (or other language) audience, you must submit a translated version with this request. If you have questions or need a translator ahead of time, contact Communications@CSL.org.


Please ensure your message includes the following:

  • Identify your target audience and tailor your message to the intended recipients.
  • Include a (brief) detailed, compelling and powerful subject line.
  • Give your message a clear and compelling call to action.
  • If applicable, provide a professional sign-off that includes full, proper names of your CSL Department, Council, Committee or Team members and titles.
  • Select which Thursday you would like your message to be included in the weekly CSL Communication Newsletter.
          o   Note: Your content must be submitted the week before your target distribution date.
  • Include any attachments, external links or images to be included with your content.
  • Ensure all external links are live and ready for use.
          o   Note: If your message includes a link to a CSL web form, confirm the dates the forms needs to be live and accessible.
  • Ensure proper punctuation is used throughout the communication.
  • When referencing book titles or articles, the titles should appear in quote marks.
  • If a quote is included, please cite the complete source. (Example: Ernest Holmes, “The Science of Mind,” page 234)
  • Ensure all dates are formatted using the standard date format (no abbreviations) to include month, day and full year.
  • Verify that the correct dates actually match the dates on the calendar. If days of the week are mentioned, check that those days align with your calendar date.
  • When listing times of events, use this time format: 9 a.m. MT (no colon) or 9:30 MT. We will include various time zones for audience clarity.
