5. National and State Database and Newsletter
Be The Change's database supports national and state email lists building our community and aligning our actions.

Wherever possible, we ask that you send to the Database Administrator for your state the contact details of attendees at your events and any requests they have to be followed up (eg. interest in training, hosting or being on the team for future symposiums).

By building our database we can mobilise a critical mass of Australians bringing forth the world we wish to see. We're not going to SPAM anyone and people have an easy opt out clause if they require it.

How to add your attendee details to the database
 * After an event please send attendee details to the Database Manager in your state.
 * The Participation Form (which can be used in the final section of your symposium) can be downloaded here and the corresponding Participant Database Import Template can be downloaded here.
 * We are aware some people are using different systems. If this includes you, we still ask that you notify the Database Manager for your state of your events and the numbers of attendees, and whenever possible forward names and emails so that we can include those people in our communications and community.
