Hi everyone,

Re. below, some of you may have seen this, but I thought it would be
of interest to the list.
Although it is U.S. based, the focus is growing in importance
worldwide. This might be something for APLA to consider doing in the
Canadian context, maybe in partnership with the CLA(?). I've copied
Don Butcher, Executive Director of CLA, for his reference.

Cheers,
Leo
