Piloting of New Chat Box Function on Website

Some of you might have happened upon a new feature the association is testing. It's a chat function on the home page of pathintl.org and it's already proving very popular! In the lower right corner of the home page you will see a chat icon indicating if a PATH Intl. representative is online live. It's a new way in addition to phone and email to get answers to your questions! When all the bugs are worked out, there will be an announcement of its official launch!
