APT
Website Editor Sought
The Website Editor manages the information
on www.apti.org. The Editor works
with the members of the Publications Committee and the Chairs of
the Organization and Technical Committees to effectuate the flow
of information to the APT membership and the world at large.
Ongoing tasks include updating job listings
and the Events Calendar, for which no previous knowledge of html
is required. Updates are also required periodically for the APT
Bulletin, Chapter information, and Committees. Knowledge of html
is helpful for these tasks, but not essential. The tasks require
several hours a week, on average.
The APT Board has many ideas for new initiatives
for the website. The Website Editor could be instrumental in making
them come to fruition. If you are interested in helping to take
the website to the next level, or if you simply want to help out
with keeping the information flowing, please send a letter of interest,
to aptinews@apti.org.
