Bulletins are a form of mass communication; moreover, they are a place where PensionPro users can post important news or generic documents online so that all plan sponsors can view the posted information. For example, a user could post a Bulletin of an upcoming event to announce that information to plan sponsors. Bulletins appear on the Industry Bulletins tab on PlanSponsorLink when enabled.
