| Dear AOPO Update Reader:
Welcome to the second electronic edition of the AOPO Update. It’s hard getting back after a marvelous annual meeting (and subsequent vacation), but we just have to move ahead. We’ve included in this issue a number of items from the annual meeting as well as some important updates. The contributions of many of you to this issue are very much appreciated. Below is your table of contents for this Summer 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. We’ve included several PowerPoint presentations in this edition which have been widely requested. As with the Spring issue, this edition of our Update also replaces the print version of Update from AOPO. We received only positive feedback after our spring 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
