Bulk Email Tool
Trout Unlimited (TU) is pleased to offer our volunteers the ability to easily email your council/chapter membership with the greatest regard for member's privacy and communication preferences. This tool is designed as a way for you to communicate important information to your membership without concern for C-SPAM violations or for the costs associated with outside emailing services. You will find more information about this tool in the Leaders Only Section.
To Access the Bulk Email Tool
Log in to your user account on TU.org. Go to your Leaders Only Section. Choose the Email Members option.

Common Issue with Receiving Bulk Email
We often get messages from volunteer leaders that members are not receiving email from the bulk email tool. Here are the main reasons that email would not be delivered to your membership.
Bad email address One of our biggest issues is typos in the email address. Start checking that the chapter roster, you can download from LOS, has the correct email address for your members. It happens. We also get members who use a fake or forgotten email address to avoid getting email from TU National.
Unsubscribed email preferences We have members who have clicked that unsubscribe link at the bottom of email from TU National. This action unsubscribes the member from all email including the bulk email messages. This can be fixed but requires message from the member saying they want to subscribe to TU email that we share with the service provider.
Spam and junk email settings in both your browser and email settings can create challenges when looking for email from TU National and from the bulk email tools used by Chapters and Councils.
Here are some helpful guides to the most common email providers:
One other tip that may help with issues regarding receiving email from TU would be to add TU email addresses to your contacts list. You can create an email contact named Trout Unlimited and add some of your common 'from' address. For instance;
- trout@tu.org
- jyates@tu.org
