“Getting more involved with APSE and attending my first conference (in 2024) was a highlight of my professional year. There’s no gatekeeping with this crew. You’ll be spoiled with counsel and camaraderie from people who are serious about the craft. Best of all, there’s a little bit for everyone. If you want to hone your leadership skills, you’ve got a network of mentors to meet at a mixer. If you need help with recruitment (and don’t we all?) you’ll get in front of the best and brightest. Am I coming back? You bet.”
— Nate Mink, sports editor, Syracuse.com/Advance Media NY
