As of today, the Graphic Arts Association has a voicemail box through Google Voice!

There are many benefits to using this Google service, such as:

• Having the ability to give a standard phone number to industry leaders and contacts
• We can have this one number forward to multiple phones. For example, we could have the eboard as a forwarding list
• Voicemail is accessible through the web. This will allow us to check any voicemails online. Additionally, Google transcribes each message, so we will have them in a text format as well
• To learn more, visit the Google Voice Feature Page

As shown in the picture above, you can now reach an eboard member through one standard phone number: (231) 660-1422. We look forward to using this technology!

For those of you wondering, the title comes from Alexander Graham Bell.
