WEB CORNER   LOGO IDENTITY CONTEST
WEBSITE REBORN - PSA Public site is undergoing renovation so members should be aware of the following: • There may be broken links to some of the pages, pop-ups, or images, so please do not attempt to resolve these issues because no more work is being done on the standing public portion of the site.• Please be patient while the migration takes place and prepare yourself for providing a new set of hi-resolution images and a current portrait photo. • In order to administer PSA more effectively the Website Committee will be sending regular email to accomplish a large number of tasks that lie ahead. • We need everyone's cooperation and help to make the best presentations online, while adding content to draw traffic. • Our Charter is being revised to accommodate a modern set of missions, and each member is responsible for staying abreast of new policies as posted online. • Please embrace our evolving future together and think of ways you can contribute. • You can contact web chair Mark Smollin by email. We are also looking for members who know the web software “Dreamweaver 8”. David Johnson needs members who want to do basic historical research about PSA and its many members.   The contest to design a complete commercial identity is underway.
