ASOPA does still exist, but not in the same form as before. They are in a major restructuring and making decisions about future. Last year there was no major event and none is planned this year. There may be some in the future. However, there were workshops in several cities last year and workshops are planned again this year, but they are still in the works. Arnold McRae, who is primarily running the ship for both LL and ASOPA, has his hands overly full and I have to say I admire what he has taken on and accomplished.
If you are not receiving periodical Portrait Signature journals, you should contact them regarding this. In the meantime, a Google search on "portrait artists" lists ASOPA as number one (I was for a while, but I've dropped down a bit - no understanding search engines), so I would consider it worthwhile to be a member from a business standpoint just to have your name and thumbnail listed there.
I'm the web designer for ASOPA in case you're wondering how I know these things.
