If your membership is complete and contact information is correct, you should work with your IT Administrator to see if emails from info@copascolorado.org are being held back by the server.

We do our best to communicate information to our members. If you are receiving emails from a committee you signed up for but no longer wish to receive, please contact the Membership Coordinator, or committee chair to unsubscribe to the email list.
