• Build relationships between the APS and peer organisations, including:

Professionals and their Associations
Special Interest Groups
Consumer Organisations
Educational Institutions

• Be the APS point of contact for Media Relations
• Provide a conduit between the APS Board and broader membership bases
• Discuss shared opportunities for collaboration
• Share expertise and ideas
