CHANGING YOUR VOICE MAIL PASSWORD
To maintain the security of our voice mail system, you will be prompted to change your voice mail password
periodically.
If you have problems changing your password or you get locked out of your voice mailbox, send an email to
telecommunications@icmarc.org
.
You can also call the Telephony Administration Help Desk at 202-962-4899, or
extension 4899 if you are calling from an internal number.
Email, including Internet email, is to be used for business purposes. Prior approval from Human Resources is
required before posting non-business-related or special-interest messages via a broad distribution list. Please
keep such messages short and limit their distribution to necessary recipients. In responding to a message with
multiple recipients, you should take care not to inadvertently select the “Reply all” option if you intend to
reply only to the email sender.
Certain messages from FINRA-licensed associates being sent to clients must be approved by the ICMA‑RC
Compliance Department prior to sending. FINRA-licensed associates are responsible for knowing the
circumstances under which this requirement applies.
Occasionally, and on a limited basis, associates may use the corporate email system during nonworking time
and for non-business use, subject to the following guidelines:

OUT OF OFFICE ALERT FOR EMAILS
If you are out of the office on vacation or for an extended period of time, you should leave a “vacation alert”
or “leave alert” message notifying clients and ICMA‑RC staff of your absence. This feature will automatically
respond to any incoming emails with a message indicating that you are out of the office. Your message should
include a contact name and phone number for the caller to use.
