Working Groups
IAPRI Working Groups are temporary, project-focused teams established to address a specific need, develop a new initiative, or recommend improvements to the Association. Each Working Group brings together IAPRI members with relevant experience and perspectives to work toward defined objectives and outcomes.
Working Groups report their findings, recommendations, or completed work to the IAPRI Board of Directors and conclude when their assigned work has been completed. They provide members with an opportunity to contribute directly to IAPRI’s development and help shape the Association’s future.
