As we review some of the state linked sites it’s becoming more and more apparent that some haven’t been updated in years. As I stated before. If we don’t have some pride in alhn then alhn is doomed to failure. If we want an organization we can be proud of then it’s up to us to begin to act like it. I am reduced to begging. If you are a state site web manager PLEASE update your site with a current copyright and current contact information. Make it something to be proud of. If you need help then please just let us know what we can do. If you just don’t want to do it then help us find you an assistant that will do them. Upload new data occasionally...give visitors something new to see. It is up to us as volunteers to make alhn a source of pride....
