[ChapterAdmin] Couple of things

[Lynn Jorgenson]

Hi Andrea,
 
In late summer we will be sending out the fee structure information
along with the promotional/marketing materials to everyone.
 
As for the font, it was decided that at a cost of $35.00, the chapters
and divisions could easily afford to purchase the Myriad Pro. If that's
not the case, APA is offering grants to chapters to aid them with the
branding change costs they incur. The exact criteria for that is still
being worked out.
 
Unfortunately, that's all the information I have at this time.
-Lynn

Hi, Lynn,
 
Following up on a couple of matters.  First, any progress on the fee
structure (registration and cost per credit) that will be charged to the
Chapters for APA administration of the CM program?  We are much
interested in how this might affect our budget.
 
Also, I'd mentioned to you a few weeks ago that the fonts that are
required for the APA branding are not free fonts.  What is the status of
grants to Chapters to defray the costs of taking up the branding
initiative?  MAP has been right on top of this, but are finding it
difficult to work without the proper fonts.  We can't set up our letter
head (and although you indicated, I think to one of my staff, that Arial
was a close approximation, when we actually tried to use that font, it
doesn't look anywhere near as good as the sanctioned myriad font)  A
branding initiative by its nature is intended to provide consistency and
cohesiveness, and using alternative fonts this early in the game makes
no sense at all.
 
Please let me know on both counts above any information you have.
 
I'm copying the Chapter Administrator's list serve on this note, as I am
sure they are as eager as I am for answers to these questions.
