Work Anxiety Nightmare Scenario – Sent Email With Incorrect Info to Thousands

Just like what the title says. I work for a nonprofit that is a trade group for a large network of organizations. We are having our upcoming lobby day this spring, and sent out the “message from our president” to encourage people to come to the event.
