First of all, let me apologize to everyone for
sounding a bit harsh on the subject. I didn't realize
that I was quite that harsh when writing the messages.

Overall, I think the site does look A LOT more
attractive than it did before. For a new member, the
site makes APO look like an organization that they
would want to join.

I will say that I have contacted the national office
(aposec@aol.com) at least one week ago regarding some
inaccuracies in the site (particularly in the alumni
association's section (I am no longer president of the
richmond alumni association, but the site says I am).
To this date, I still have not received a reply from
the national office, nor has the information been
updated. I am also a bit disturbed that my home
address, telephone number, etc, is listed in a
publicly accessible web directory on that page, as are
the personal information of the other alumni
association presidents. Again, I informed the national
office regarding this at least a week ago, and have
not received even the slightest reponse.

You are both wrong and right here. The National Board
of Directors is not the only folks that can change it.
The National Board must ultimately answer to the
National Convention. But you are correct in a way,
because there is a national board meeting before the
next national convention.
