Is it possible to create a New Topic in a Sub Group to send to the main group with the members address?
I have an Activities Director that has ownership of an Activity Group and wants to post a Notice to the Main Group about activities and wants the members to know that it is from Her or any other member of this group.
When she creates a New Topic in the Main Group the members see here personal email address and she would like it to be something like Activitie.Director.
I thought about creating an email address for Activities but then the members of her group could not share that address.
There are only six members in her group.

Mod's note: ?changed subject to Creating New Topic in a subgroup for main group ?members

See the visibility options on the help page -?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/using-subgroups?single=true
You might find a workaround.
Remember that subgroup members are also members of the main group.

Green,

Is it possible to create a New Topic in a Sub Group to send to the
main group ...

No.

To send a new topic to the primary group, create it in the primary group. New Topics and Replies created in a subgroup will be sent only to members of that subgroup.

When she creates a New Topic in the Main Group the members see here
personal email address and she would like it to be something like
Activitie.Director.

In the primary group she can edit her Profile so have "Activities Director" as her display name. But that sort of assumes she never posts to the primary group as herself or for other purposes. Switching her Display Name at need would be possible, but tedious (and error-prone).

Nor does it change the fact that her personal email address will be in the From field of messages received by email. However, many email interfaces will show the Display Name instead of or together with the actual email address, so that may not be so bad.

I thought about creating an email address for Activities but then the
members of her group could not share that address.
There are only six members in her group.

The shared address could be a member of the primary group, separate from each of those six people's personal addresses, which would be members of the Activities subgroup (and perforce the primary group as well).

I'm not a big fan of creating "shared" email addresses - it can lead to problems when one of the people doesn't play nice, or just generally in terms of accountability. I haven't looked recently, but it may also be against the terms of service for many email services.

Maybe the best answer is for each of the six to have their own second email address, for use when acting as Activity Director. Then at least you (the managers of the primary group) always know who's saying what.
