new amwa website coming

AMWA's association management system is being replaced and as part of this replacement, the website is being redesigned. We are in the early stages of the redesign and are working to ensure that the new website will contain the most relevant information delivered in an intuitive way.

The estimate go-live time will be late spring to early summer 2013 for both the association management system and the website, so please bear with us a bit longer.
