The HTA is a friendly organisation which relies very much upon the support of members, and we do hope you will find time to join in the association’s activities at a local and national level; doing so will directly contribute to the development of your business.
One of the easiest ways to throw yourself into the HTA digisphere is to join the APL Whatsapp Community. This community is available to all APL members, free of charge, and it is your space where you can network with other members in your region.
We have a number of channels, including conferences, seminars, awards and other networking opportunities, which are highly valuable in terms of keeping up-to-date on the changes affecting our industry; we cannot emphasise enough the benefits that can be obtained from networking with colleagues in the same line of business. To find out what events the APL has coming up, including free monthly webinars, keep an eye on the upcoming events.
We are always anxious to identify different ways and means of making your Association more effective in serving the interests of members. If you have any suggestions for improving our work, please do not hesitate to put them forward to your Council Representative or APL Account Manager. Ideas for new services to members are particularly welcomed as a strong, active Association is better placed to support all of its members.
