First, new members receive a welcome email from CCL. This informs them what CCL chapter they have been connected with and includes their temporary CCL Community password as well as a number of helpful links.
Then, an hour or so later they receive a default welcome message (or a customized message that the CCL chapter created).
Visit the CCL Community page When Someone New Joins CCL for a detailed explanation of the joining process.
The default welcome message for your CCL chapter group is:
Subject line: "Welcome to (CCL chapter name)."
Message: "You’ve been connected with the (CCL chapter name) group of Citizens’
Climate Lobby! Please visit our (CCL chapter link in CCL Community) group to see
what we’re up to."
Note: Action Teams also have a default welcome message.
We encourage groups to customize their message and if they use the group forum feature, invite new members to login and post a message about themselves in the forum. See this article for how to customize your group’s welcome message.
