Such important releases should be posted first to the OPA web site, then emailed to OPA's inhouse email list of association members, and finally emailed to media.

Making an issue of how this release was issued is, well, nonsense. 

Improving our website and what is presented on it is not nonsense, but we are aware of this need to analyze what we are doing.  I will have our newly reconstituted Communications Advisory Committee recommend "fixes" to the site and suggest how information can be presented better.  

Now that we have a new website with the latest technology (with many thanks to you), we are able to make adjustments relatively easily.  I hope those of you who are users of the Forum will also go to your new website and provide to management recommendations for its improvement.  My goal to have our site be a primary source of information to the membership and for its use to grow little be little all the time.  Please submit your comments using the link on the site.
