I totally get the arguments for going digital. Omega Phi Alpha has never had alumnae dues and our collegiate dues & fees are pretty modest. We, too, were told that our one-time lifetime membership fee paid for a lifetime of receiving the quarterly Chevron. However, if you crunch the numbers, the amount we pay in that lifetime membership fee doesn't even come close to covering 50 years worth of printing and mailing a quarterly newsletter, must less factor in inflation.
We've been seriously considering moving some of our Chevron distribution to a totally online system, but another concern arose. When a member moves and leaves a forwarding address, we are notified of that new address. But if we are only sending one printed mailing per year to our alumnae, we might miss the forward order. (Most of them are only good for 6 months.) Has this been an issue for any of you who send only one hardcopy to your members?
