FYI.
Couldn't find the mass PM function. I'm sure it's there somewhere. Sent the mass email instead. Should do the trick.
Any pointers on using the mass PM feature that Justin suggested?

Wasn't I going to do this?
I've already sent a mass PM to the navigators, so I know how to do it.
The mass PM is in the Admin CP --> Tools and settings --> Post office --> Create new mail

That was my understanding as well, but as it hadn't happened, I wasn't sure. Therefore, in the interests of making sure people had at least a week to vote, I went ahead and sent the email.I've already sent a mass PM to the navigators, so I know how to do it.

Ok, I thought this also lead to the mass email feature instead.
If it leads to the mass PM feature, then by all means please do go ahead and send!

Ok, I wanted to include links to other conference-related topics, so I created these topics before sending the mass PM.
You've already send the mail?

I see you sent out a mass email to all the members about the conference. During the meeting I suggested sending out a mass PM. I apologize if I did not make this clear.
We use the mass email for the newsletter, for funding drives, important announcements (such as when we have the date and location for the conference), and potentially for the Stop Aging Now partnership later this year.
We use mass PM to alert members to important discussions in the forums and other things.
These are not "written rules" just general guidelines we have followed over the years. Members and registered users have a little more control over their PMs, so active members don't mind getting PMs and you will typically get a better response.
If people get too many emails they tend to regard it as spam. They usually expect more official-type announcements and news through email.
Just something to keep in mind for future mass communication.

Of course, this could be another "project" for leadership - defining what outlets to use for various announcements. We have the forums, the front page, facebook and twitter, mass email and PM, our media partners, etc...
