I can actually say that I have NO idea about any of the politics of the current APLA. Kinda nice actually One thing I know is how absolutely incredible and beneficial this new site is, and is going to continue to be to this organization. I know everyone on the board must be in concurrence with that fact. Great job to all involved. This is long overdue, and I do believe that you will see significant increased involvement and membership growth. What a comfortable place (website) this has become to visit… and actual conversations on the forum…by board members no less…. holy crap, who would have thunk it?!?!

I am starting to see the increased communication that had been promised for a while. And although I still have ill feelings that is probably all water under the bridge at this point- as soon as I have a lab that points, have more experience with dogs, and am more fluent in all the areas of public relations (all though that aspect appears to be getting better by the day) I think I would like to a part of a committee as you say… if for no other reason- to get in on the top secret material. until then, I have to save my $35. Sadly, that is still a lot of money to some of us! (ok- just me)
