APA Alliance Annual Meeting Schedule

Whether you are an APA member or the partner or friend of one, you’ll want to plan on attending the events that the APA Alliance is sponsoring at APA’s 2004 annual meeting in New York City. More information on these events will be available at the APA Alliance’s booth in the Javits Center.

A highlight of the Alliance’s schedule of activities is its annual luncheon, to be held at the University Club New York City. The University Club was designed in 1898 during the “Gilded Age” by architect Charles McKim. A tour of the University Club library will follow the luncheon. Those attending the luncheon are asked to bring a children’s book for donation to the Children Aid’s Society, which serves the neediest children and families in New York City.
