APT Received Trademark Approval

On July 28, 2009, APT received its Certificate of Registration from the United States Patent and Trademark Office regarding the "APT" trademark. We are now "officially" trademarked, just in time for APT's 40th anniversary!


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.

Creative Energetic People Sought

Has membership in APT had a positive effect on your professional life? Do you enjoy meeting like-minded people in an organization that caters to your interests? Then you probably wonder: "Why isn't everyone an APT member?"

APT is working hard to expand its programs and outreach to students and professionals alike, both regionally and abroad. We're developing new ways of reaching our existing members and expanding our membership as a whole.

We need you! It doesn't matter how long you've been a member or if you've volunteered in the past - now is the time to step forward and get involved in our Membership Growth Initiative. The Membership Committee is energized with new ideas on how to expand our existing member base and we need your help. Please send an email to either co-chair: Anne Sullivan (asullivan@jlarchitects.com) or Anat Geva (ageva@archmail.tamu.edu).
