APA Open Community

Dear APA Members,

APA is rolling out the first phase of a new website to strengthen security and improve reliability. The new site will deliver enhanced performance and a better user experience. The pages and features you rely on most are available now, and we’ll continue adding more content and improvements over the coming weeks.

Your login and access to member resources remain the same, though you may notice some updates to page layout and navigation.

If you experience any technical difficulties, please contact Member Services via email or dial 847-375-4800 for assistance.

APA is committed to providing a valuable digital experience, and we thank you for your support during this transition.

Sincerely,

The APA Team

I like the changes.  It is very intuitive.  It looks like our association has moved away from Higher Logic and over to Word Press for the website side of things.  Will this change eventually impact the forum once the contract with Higher Logic runs out?  Having been involved in the early decision-making process, I know their services come at a high price.  I also know there has been some new forum software come along that could be enticing at a much lower cost when that time comes.

Hi David,

We're glad to hear that you like the new website, we're really excited about the way it's coming together so far! 

The old website was actually housed in another system separately from Higher Logic, so Higher Logic and the M2M forum will remain in place in its current form for the foreseeable future. 

Thank you,
