NEW AT THE ASPB!
We are still doing almost all of our work away from the office, and if we had ever doubted before, we are fast learning that email, video-conferencing and telephone are very efficient tools with which to serve our members and stakeholders. You can contact us HERE.
EXCITING NEWS! The ASPB is collaborating with the Association of the Chemical Profession of Alberta (ACPA) and the Association of Alberta Forest Management Professionals (AAFMP) to host a very special (and first-ever) two-day Virtual Conference in early December. For more information, read more HERE.
Please be safe, and be kind to each other! Beki Snyder, Manager of Operations
