The WNY APA Section aims to bring people together from these counties to network, plan, and support our region through various events such as Student/Professional Mixers, our Annual Awards Event, lunch-and-learns, and many other events. The WNY APA Section has put a great effort into keeping our planners connected, engaged, educated, and involved in the Western New York Region and we hope to continue that trend into the future!
