What Happens at an APR Member Meeting?
General Sessions occur at the beginning and end of the meetings. APR's President offers a "State of the APR" address and other presentations address topics of broad industry appeal.
Committee Meetings occur throughout the member meeting. Except for the PET Reclaimers Working Group, attendees may participate in any committee meetings they choose.
Receptions are a prime opportunity to network with other APR member companies, and an attendee list is provided in advance of the meeting for your benefit.
