USGS uses GovDelivery, a Civic Engagement Platform by Granicus for managing dissemination of newsletters and other materials electronically and provides subscriber management.
As of April 4, 2022, GovDelivery will be the bureau-wide standard email listserver service. The Associate Chief Information Officer (ACIO) will not authorize any other email listserver servers/services (e.g., MailChimp, Mailman, Etc.) for use within USGS. The Bureau will cover all costs for GovDelivery in FY22 & FY23, starting in FY24 these costs will be included in the 2024 Rates Workbook Memo in part with the Annual Office 365 Email and Collaboration (i.e., your office/program will not be directly charged for using GovDelivery). For more information, please see 📧 February 9, 2022 Advisory Listserver Migration.
