CONSTITUTION AMENDED. The membership attending the Business Meeting also voted to amend the Association's Constitution, increasing the size of the Governance Committee by splitting the office of Secretary-Treasurer into two offices, Treasurer and Secretary, and adding two appointed offices, Newsletter Editor and Webmaster. The latter two will be non-voting members of the Governance Committee and will be appointed annually to one-year renewable terms. These changes, which will take effect in the fall of 2010, will be explained in more detail in the Business Meeting minutes.

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED. The new APT website has been launched, with the publication of all of the non-secure pages in the new format. Secure pages (the member directory and paper archives, mainly) remain on a version of the old website. By next spring, we expect to move all of those pages onto the new website. For now, clicking on a link to a secure page will lead you to stripped-down homepage on the old website, from which you will be able to navigate to the desired page. (Updated 27 August 2009.)

If you see problems with the site, or have questions or suggestions, please direct them to Webmaster Dennis McEnnerney. And if you have images to suggest for adding to our homepage slideshow -- especially ones that could reflect better the diversity of political thought -- please send them along. Click on "Webmaster" in the bottom navigation bar to send Dennis an email message.
