Give the choice to cc secondary contact in emails
In sending out emails to applicants, in most cases they are already going to the primary contact (grant writer, Dev Director, program mgr. etc.) And the ED or CEO is almost always the secondary contact. It seems silly for the drop-down option to be "cc primary contact"...when it should include the option of "cc secondary contact". We just completed our entire first GLM process, and have only now realized that we've not been cc'ing the ED of most organizations!! This puts the onus on the primary to share. And yes, I guess we should have been adding a cc to the ED, but that means we have to have those emails right next to us. It's a fussy second step.

We could use a field to identify a secondary point of contact for the organization. We currently change the applicant to the secondary point of contact to ensure the Primary and the secondary receive emails. PLEASE HELP. Grantees often change the applicant, which prevents us from emailing and running reports on the secondary point of contact. We run reports on current agency contact information for our whole organization (120+ staff) not all staff have access to GLM.

In addition to OP's reason for posting, having a Secondary in addition to Primary contact option would be helpful when a grantee organization has two co-leaders (we have several atm). Without a Secondary option, the second co-leader is omitted not only from system reports but also from the document/grant agreement generator, and thus tactlessly omitted from grant agreements.

We've run into more than one instance of an organization requesting that an additional email address be cc'd on automated email communications for a specific grant process. It would be very helpful if there was a way to designate an organization/applicant cc email for a particular process.
