December 2010 – How to Configure Google Groups for Staff & Board Use. This tutorial walks you through how to configure Google Groups for staff and board groups. Setting things up in this way has three benefits: 1) Update the list once when a change occurs; no need for board or staff to individually maintain lists; 2) Members of a list may communicate with the list; lists aren’t restricted to use by just staff; and 3) New members can review list archives.
