this is based on the following rather 'startling' e-mail I received the other day (via The Defined Contribution and savings plan alert daily)

ASPPA Set To Merge With COPA
- 09/30/2008
The American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries is about to be known by a new moniker—ACOPA. The newly-formed group comes as the result of ASPPA’s merger with the College of Pension Actuaries.
“I am really excited by this combination,” Mike Preston, president of the new ACOPA, said. “I think it portends well for the actuarial profession.”
The merger announced by both groups this past week is something of a reunion, as the founding members of COPA splintered off from the small plan trade group in 2005. It was then ASPPA most recently changed its name.
................
If I understand things correctly, it's not ASPPA changing their name, but rather there will be a subgroup within ASPPA - known as ACOPA. It is COPA that will be known by a new moniker. hence my comment about whose fault it was who wrote this thing. (OR maybe it really was a hostle takeover of ASPPA by the actuaries and I haven't heard about it)

The website says it the other way around. That email sounds like it is seriously misguided. I asked the reporter to send me a copy of the article via email after it was published but he did not comply. I tried to register for the free trial so I could read the entire web article but it wouldn't let me register.
But the tease on the website now says it the other way around from your email so I presume they now have it right.
There has been nothing hostile in the entire process.

couldn't tell you Mike. I simply copied and pasted the blurb. I didn't sign up for the free trial or anything, merely clicked on the link to the article. Now, I see, just a few days later, clicking on the link goes directly to the sign up options instead of the article.
