CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS
IN BENEFITS FOR APS MEMBERS

 

     As As the APS Litchfield 2001 Coordinator Training Conference will be upon us shortly, your APS staff continues to expand vital services.
     One significant new benefit for the top executive member of our institutional members is access to Strat-For's "The Global Intelligence Report," a cutting-edge e-mail news service offering the inside story on business, political and military maneuvers around the world. A report in May, for example, told readers of this exclusive report how Beijing has stepped up contacts in unusual and remote locations in the South Pacific.  Analysis further enlightened readers about the potential impact on them, their businesses and their nations.  These daily news briefings and analyses are just a few of the new services brought to you by APS. 
     Our Website, www.a-p-s.org, now offers confidential resume placement, upcoming events and the newsletter. The site also features a host of practical and stimulating links. Currently we have close to 100 links which will connect you to virtually every piece of available business information over the Internet.
     Links, via "Portal to Productivity, include: 

  • Business News - Business Week Magazine, The Economist,
                                   The Financial Times, Forbes, Fortune, 
                                    Wall Street Journal;
  • Computer Software;
  • Headline News Outlets;
  • Human Resource Tools;
  • Investing;
  • Internet Search Engines;
  • Leadership;
  • Leisure;
  • Professional Organizations;
  • Research Tools;
  • Travel and Weather.

     These offerings make APS a major destination for the Productivity Specialist, business or government leader and journalist.  "I was amazed to see so many quality links at the APS Portal to Productivity," a journalist told me recently. "This is a very impressive service that is bound to become well known across the globe."
     Indeed, as with all other APS missions and services, it is the membership that ensures quality and effectiveness. There is a special link for us, "Submit a Site," asking the question, "Do you have a web site you would like to suggest?"
     This is your Web Site and your APS. Join me now in making our organization stronger and better.   I look forward to seeing you in Litchfield July 26-31.

Best regards,

Bob
