When you go to the AFT's public Web site, you will find a new, improved and totally redesigned site. The redesign—the first in more than five years—involves more than just an updated, more attractive design. The site includes improved navigation and lots of new features that not only will make it easier to find what you're looking for but also to share your voice and opinions on important issues in a variety of ways. One thing you will notice is the prominence throughout of AFT members' quotes and faces.
