When we first moved here we found that the POA newsletter and their approach in general was VERY negative and down-right nasty. Since the change of leadership, we have found their tone and actions to be more effective and have made them a representative group that I'd be proud to be associated with.

The VHA on the other hand has acted like they had taken the same orientation program as the rest of the developer held enterprises. This is a good thing. In my humble opinion, the really good thing is they do have that developer connection and (maybe) his ear. It's pretty obvious to me that in the last two (maybe more) editions of the VHA newletter there was almost no substance at all. They honestly weren't worth the paper they were printed on. Now that's a big change that I've noticed since their change in leadership.

Both organizations have done loads of good for our community. I'll continue to support both for now and give them a hearty pat on the back and a sincere "Thank you."

Well said as usual. I am still trying to get over the negative era of the POA but you clarified why some have misgivings.

I agree Xavier. Great post.
