Advocacy —
Background/Research

Much of what the Association does on behalf of its members is based on a foundation of solid research. In order to be an effective advocate for the port community the Association ensures that substantive research is conducted before formal positions are finalized. This involves extensive investigation of critical issues and wide consultation with all stakeholders in the port community, both public and private. The Association does its homework before making interventions on behalf of its members.
