Testimonials
…In 2005, I moved into a new job and remembered how helpful the information from APNC had been when I was a member. So I re-joined. I decided to take part in all that APNC had to offer. I started working with Clint Horton at the conferences and eventually was asked to join the board. I have seen APNC grow from a volunteer board with one staff person to the organization that it is today. I tell people to join because of the available information and the networking opportunities. I have made so many friends, both professional and personal, through APNC. It is a great organization.”
