Welcome to the new AMA website!

Monday, December 12, 2011

Welcome to the new AMA website! We asked what our members wanted to see in their website and we have tried to incorporate as many of those ideas in the new site as possible. The new site features much of the content from the old site but is hopefully more user-friendly in its layout and design. Some of the site remains under construction including the Exhibits and Learning Materials section and our new features, the Members Only section and the discussion forum. We appreciate your patience as we work towards completing these sections of the site.
