Help us Help YOU!

The EEAA Web site has recently undergone a massive upgrade and redesign... resulting in a few minor "anomalies."  If you have any difficulties Registering, Logging-in, accessing content, or in overall site usability, EEAA solicits your inquiry or reporting!

Your assistance in identifying and helping to solve these issues, through dialogue with the Webmaster, is essential to our improving this site for all.

Please CONTACT THE WEBMASTER (click this link) or notify a Board Member/Regional Coordinator so that EEAA can fix it! Thank you!
