“The IAPA networking group offers a pool of information and opportunities. You get the opportunity to develop your leadership and presentation skills in a very supportive environment. You hear talks on key health and safety issues and share practical solutions on a variety of topics and applications. It is definitely a cost effective way to learn and you always take something of value back to the workplace.”
