The Foreign Service Journal, March 2007

MA R CH 2 0 0 7 / F OR E I GN S E R V I C E J OU R N A L 73 A F S A N E W S AFSA Annual Report 2006 ON THE WEB at www.afsa.org The total number of visitors to the AFSA Web site climbed to 300,000 in 2006, an increase of 33 percent from 2005. Month after month visitors returned to the site, with consistent favorites being the Foreign Service Journal and AFSA’s Scholarship Program. In 2006, we opened up the posting of the current issue of the Foreign Service Journal to the public (it had been members-only for the month of publication), which resulted in increased Web readership. Pages on the Web site devoted to issues of interest to retirees increased in popularity. Page hits indicate the increase can be partially attributed to the Dental/Vision Care and Class Action Suit: Unused Leave pages. The AFSAnet listserv contin- ues to grow. With over 8,500 subscribers and growing, the AFSAnet remains a great way to keep current with Foreign Service news. To sign up for the AFSAnet listserv, go to www.afsa.org/forms/maillist.cfm.
