When you say "the site would maintain the current set of
emails for all members", please define this a bit better.
What will be done with the list? Who needs to see it? How
will they use it? How frequently will it be updated? Will
the organization numbers grow greatly?

For instance, do you wish the current list to be viewable
by all members at any point in time?

If so there are several ways to go about this:

1. you could write some code in whatever language your
host supports (ASP, PHP or whatever) to program what you
want to happen, or
2. you could use Front Page's Database wizards to collect
and display the data, or
3. with the relatively small membership, you could use a
more manual approach. Have the members email you their
address or changes to their address (use a mailto
hyperlink) and then manually post them to a webpage
containing a table listing name and email address.

Or is this list just for the secretary of your
organization so that he/she can send out periodic emails
to association members? Then I would suggest using
approach 3 above.

In deciding which approach to use, take into acount how
much effort it will take to do it programmatically versus
manually.

I hope this helps.
