from the editor | by steve glazner FACILITIES manager APPA LAUNCHES REDESIGNED WEBSITE President Glenn Smith, Bryn Mawr College On September 19, APPA revealed its new association website following months of design and development by a team of APPA staff, APPA members, and consultants.

You'll find greater compatibility now in viewing content and graphics on your tablet, smart phone, laptop, or traditional desktop computer. You can read complete issues of Facilities Manager on your mobile device, and the new website layout up for the Credentialing Prep Course and Exam, and to complete the annual Facilities Performance Indicators survey.

This is the first major redesign of the site since the previous version was launched in January 2008; it was definitely time for a change. For a jolt of time travel, we wanted to compare one of our earliest websites (this one is from 1996) with a screen capture of the new site. APPA rolled out its first website in July 1995; that design was a stark black-and-red design and did not last long. Then came the cartoon campus you see above. We urge you to visit the website often to register for programs such as APPA U, read past issues of Facilities Manager, sign 4 | september/october 2013 | Facilities Manager s sary, gain access to the BOK (Body of K Knowledge), or search our extensive abs stracts for past articles and presentations. T There's much to offer at appa.org, so p please spend some time checking it out. We hope you enjoy the new site and, a as always, let us know if you have any q questions or suggestions about APPA's website resources. www.appa.org/facilitiesmanager Facilities Manager (ISSN 0882-7249) is published six times a year (January, March, May, July, September, and November).
