MAP - Member Assistance Program
In efforts to expand communications with members, NYSUT Member Benefits offers MAP, the Member Assistance Program. Just as maps provide direction, MAP team members will assist Member Benefits and vice versa. Through this e-mail-based program:
· You’ll be among the first to hear about new, endorsed programs and program updates.
· You’ll receive special offers.
· We’ll ask for your opinions on new programs under consideration.
· When possible, we'll ask you to help test potential new programs and give us your feedback.
Your opinions matter! You can help us shape future programs and services exclusively available to you and your colleagues. Help make a difference!
MAP e-mails are immediately recognizable by the subject line: MAP Alert. MAP e-mails are sent from Member Benefits approximately once every three weeks. We will not share your e-mail address with outside interests. We oversee the frequency of e-mail communications – You have our word we will not bombard you with e-mails!
