HOW YOU CAN HELP
GIVE US ADVICE: I'm working with a great fresh group of people to get the APEX to where it should be, however, your seat on the Board means that we value your opinion. If there is something you think the APEX should be doing or can do better please let us know.
SPREAD THE WORD: Tell your friends, family, and networks about APEX's upcoming events. Your social influence can be a powerful tool towards getting people in the door.
PARTNER WITH US: Each of the programs scheduled for 2013 are open for corporate and individual partnership on various levels. If any of the programming is something you are passionate about please contact me for partnership opportunities.
