I have struggled with this and what you see is the best I could come up with. Additionally, I can do a few different versions of suggested alternatives and will post any alternatives done by others for the committee's review. Thank you for your comments. Non-links are black. I had some trouble getting all the buttons completely blue.
Type faces are more consistent.
My only other suggestion, might be that on the final, there not be any type face smaller than 12 pt. Specifically, even through the information at the bottom of the page is just a footer, it should still be readable. I will apply your new layout and suggestions to the original. I think it is attractive and functional. I like it, I like it.
