“Additionally, the advocacy support we provide has never been busier or more important across a highly diverse region of over 45 markets, each with their own distinct regulatory agenda. I am extremely proud to lead the APTRA team who deliver these services, headed by APTRA’s Executive Director Anne Kavanagh and I thank her for her continued exemplary leadership.
