Welcome to the APO's Homepage!
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive source of information for observers on issues related to their career and work environment.
We'd love to hear your comments on any issues that are important to you!
The APO website is hosting an online survey called the APO Feedback Survey. This survey is meant to gather feedback from all current and prospective members of the Association for Professional Observers (APO) on the need, expectations, and desired role of the organization. All topics within this survey correlate to either existing objectives or newly charted goals of the APO. This survey is designed so that anyone who has any involvement in the observer profession can respond, and we encourage feedback from any interested stakeholder.
All questions in this survey are of a multiple choice variety so time to complete it should be minimal.
Link now to the APO Feedback Survey and help us to evaluate our current role and aid us in shaping a path for our future. Thank you in advance for sharing your time and considerations with us.
The APO is currently investigating our approach for the 6th IFOMC. We have a few abstract ideas in the works as well as some thoughts for how we can help observers at the conference. Like we had in Victoria, we hope again to have an "Observer Crash Pad" apartment in Portland, Maine during conference week and we also have on the table the possibility of the APO facilitating an informal pre-conference "Observer Orientation/Mixer". Although funding considerations must be detailed long before we can begin to plan for either of these projects. If you would like to donate to the APO/IFOMC Fund, which is devoted to these two projects as well as other endeavors meant to promote and develop observer participation at the 6th IFOMC, please first contact us via email: apo@apo-observers.org, with the subject-heading "APO/IFOMC Fund".
Donate to the APO!
Until the APO has finished restructuring, there are no more membership dues. In order to continue and move forward, we are relying upon donations.How are APO dues and donations utilized?
The majority of APO's activities are performed by volunteers; however, there are a few activities which require income:- Mail and photocopy services;
- Website hosting and maintenance;
- Travel to conferences, council meetings, etc.;
- Purchasing promotional materials;
- Tax preparation.
