Communications: WAPA uses two means of communication with the membership, a mailing list and a discussion group (similar to a listserv). All paid members are automatically added to the Mailing List, which WAPA uses to send announcements and information. The Discussion Group allows members to post messages directly and participate in discussions; it averages 2-3 messages per month. If you do NOT wish to participate in the Discussion Group, please check the box to opt-out.
Yes, I prefer to be OFF of the Discussion Group.
