<h1>The Trade Organization for Aviculturists</h1>
<p>The Organization of Professional Aviculturists (OPA) is a 501(c)(6) Not For Profit Corporation, founded 
in 2002 by a group of 80 aviculturists for the purpose of strengthening 
the future of aviculture, both by protecting the rights of aviculturists and by fostering a high 
degree of professionalism.</p> 


<h1>What's New with the OPA?</h1>
<h2>OPA Bulletin Board</h2>
<p>The OPA now uses a private bulletin board system which consolidates the goals of the many email lists previously 
in use.  The bulletin board is avaiable for use by all members.  New applicants receive instructions on registering 
for the board once their membership status is approved.  In addition to special announcements, a daily email is 
sent to all members informing them of new postings to the board.</p>
