Update on Possibility of Name Change for AssociationPosted in SCS Announcements. I want to thank the more than 200 APA members who responded to my recent request for comments about the proposal from the Board of Directors that we consider changing the name of the Association. I am currently preparing a summary of their comments and suggestions and will post it just before or after Thanksgiving. That will initiate a public discussion that the Board wants to be as open and inclusive as possible. |

Request for Comments on Possible Name Change for AssociationPosted in SCS Announcements. Dear members and friends, As promised in my May letter about APA strategic planning (see the link below), I am writing to invite comment on the Board's unanimous view that we should change the name of our association. The Board is divided between American Classical Association or the Classical Association of North America, so would be interested to know which you prefer, or whether you can suggest a better name. Whether or not to change the name of TAPA would be decided at a later stage. |
