How to Set Up Your HFCR Email Signature

Overview

To maintain a consistent, professional appearance, all staff should use the standard HFCR email signature. A simplified version is also available for use in replies and forwards.

Standard Signature Template

Replace items in blue with your information, and change the text color back to black. Do not alter fonts, colors, or formatting.
