If you have joined a community, you can select one of three email options for each community you join:
- Daily Digest: once per day, you will receive an email with the previous day's discussion threads (recommended)

You can opt-out of all email types except for System Emails. However, you may miss important communications if you opt-out of Community Emails or Participation Emails.
How to join a community
There are three types of communities in NACHC Online Communities: open, join by invitation, or closed. You can view all open or join by invitation communities by going to the Communities page and selecting All Communities.
- Open communities require no action to access to their pages which includes discussion threads, libraries, and more.
- Join by invitation communities require you to click the Request to Join button and answer a question. Then click the Submit button. As part of this request, you can also designate your email preference.
- Closed communities are only available to select individuals based on an event roster, special demographic, or other designation. If you are a member of a closed community, it will appear under the My Communities view.
