What is APRO? - APRO 2010-2011 Committee Assignments

The APRO Board of Directors is a talented team with committees headed by top-notch talent. But the association would like to expand committee participation beyond members of the board. APRO is urging participation from other association members to tackle industry issues on its various committees. Listed below, you'll find a list of those committees, contact information for the chairman of each committee and APRO members who are currently participating. We encourage you to contact the committee chairs, get involved in one or more committees and help make the association even better.
