Okay, okay...

Here's where we are and what you can do to get involved.  You don't need to
be an ARMA member to participate on a Task Force, but you do need to be a
memebr to be a Task Force Leader.  Go to www.arma.org and click on the
Standard link on the left side, and you'll be taken to the page with the
