To join the HPAA, you send us a short email. This ensures that we have your correct email address. Please send your application from the email account that you wish to use for your membership. We use your email address, not your name, to identify you. (With more than 19,000 members, we have many duplicate names.)
You need to send your application in plain text – otherwise, your application will not reach us:
Do not send as an attachment. Your application will not reach us.

Before sending the email, please verify that you are sending to all three of the email addresses given in yellow: hp_alumni_membership@yahoogroups.com hp_alumni_association-subscribe@yahoogroups.com hp_alumni_benefits-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
By joining, you agree to accept the terms of the HPAA Membership and Posting Agreement.
What happens next? You will get two automatic confirmation messages from Yahoo with the subject lines: "Please confirm your request to join hp_alumni_association" "Please confirm your request to join hp_alumni_benefits" Send a separate blank reply to each of the two emails entitled "Please confirm your request" – but not the other Yahoo emails. Do not click on the "Go to the Yahoo Groups site" link in either of the confirmation emails – just send a blank reply to each one. (Otherwise, Yahoo will have you sign up for a Yahoo Account, which you do not need.) The content of your reply is not read by anyone – the email goes to the Yahoo system, not to us. Not a way to communicate with the HPAA.
Approval Our volunteer team will approve your HPAA application – typically within 48 hours after you send the replies. If there is a problem, you will get an email. Upon approval, you will receive this email: "How to get the most from the HP Alumni Association" It is a concise guide on how to benefit from the HPAA's services. Please read it. |
