In an effort to free up space in your email in box, effective, 1/1/2015, all APNS third party notifications will be communicated through the APNS News section of the APCI website.  For several months now, you have received third party notifications via email with an additional link directing you to the APNS News section of the APCI website to view the same article and attachments.  Please note, that if in the future there is cause for an emergency notification, APNS will still utilize email and fax to communicate important information directly to you.  We hope this is a welcome change and you find using the APCI website a valuable resource while eliminating some of the clutter you face when checking email.
