There's reason for hope, judging from the improved functionality of the APA site, and this letter from the new Executive Director, Amy Ferrer, which I excerpt in part:
UPDATE: "Mr. Zero" is impressed!We have ambitious goals. We are committed to modernizing the APA with a more intuitive, functional, and attractive website, including new online tools and resources for members and the public alike. We aim to better communicate with members as well as the public by creating a presence for the APA in online social networks, and we will increase and improve our member services and take on new publication initiatives....
Much of this work is already underway. For example, within weeks we will launch a new Jobs for Philosophers site with new search, sort, and bookmarking capabilities. Further, along with the new JFP, we’ll be offering our job-seeking members free access to Interfolio’s dossier service for job candidates, and APA members will also be eligible for one year of free access to Interfolio’s services for hiring committees. You will receive more information on these services very soon....
I look forward to meeting many of you at the divisional meetings and collaborating with you over the coming years. Together, we will strengthen the discipline of philosophy and build the APA into a modern and preeminent learned society.
