Hi Gail,Congratulations on your new role as a director! To answer your question, yes, my company does have a team newsletter. We use a service called Mailchimp to create and distribute our newsletter. It's user-friendly and has a lot of great features, such as customizable templates and tracking analytics.However, I have also seen some directors create their newsletters from scratch using tools like Canva or even just using a basic email platform like Gmail. It really depends on your budget and the level of design and customization you want for your newsletter.I personally think it's worth investing in a service like Mailchimp because it saves time and effort in the long run. But if you have a small team and don't mind putting in the extra work, creating a newsletter on your own can also be a labor of love.Hope this helps and best of luck with your newsletter!Best,
