Fall 2002

Dear AOPO Update Reader:

Welcome to the  electronic edition of the AOPO Update.

The contributions of many of you to this issue are very much appreciated.

Below is your table of contents for this Fall edition. As before, click on the article(s) you are interested in reading. You can save the articles and you can download and print them. 

As with the Summer issue, this edition of our Update also replaces the print version of Update from AOPO. We received only positive feedback after our summer communication, so we have not changed the convenient and flexible format. Nonetheless, we look forward to any continuing feedback we receive.

Sincerely,

Paul Schwab

AOPO Executive Director
