ANA Rep Program — Former Region 7 — Washington and Oregon

Note: Eric Holcomb resigned as Region 7 Regional Coordinator and editor of MintMark on November 10, 2005, citing concerns about the secrecy of ANA board proceedings and the removal of Walter Ostromecki from the ANA board in October 2005. Now that Walt is back on the board, along with Joe Boling, Eric has returned to the ANA Rep program as editor of The MintMark. The program has been significantly reorganized, and currently there are no Regional Coordinators. For more information, contact your ANA club representative, or contact the ANA directly. You can also view The MintMark online on the ANA website (see below). ANA Web Site – The redesigned ANA web site is operational at http://www.money.org/. In addition to presenting an attractive design, the current site allows convenient access to information such as membership, “explore the world of money,” numismatic events, ANA communications and shopping at the ANA Money Market. There is also a “members only” area that can be accessed with a user name (often your ANA membership number) and password. If you are an ANA member and did not receive an e-mail from the ANA with this information, please see the ANA website for instructions, or e-mail membersonly@money.org to verify that you are registered. A valid e-mail address on file with the ANA is required for use of the “members only” site. If you are interested in serving in the ANA Club Representative Program, or if your coin club is interested in joining the ANA or getting the most out of a current ANA membership, please contact the ANA.
