APTRA is an organization I have always been proud to represent, especially so at present with the added value we continue to challenge ourselves to deliver for our members through notable platforms such as the APTRA India Conference, sharing knowledge, insights and learnings, in tandem with valuable networking opportunities.
"Additionally, the advocacy support we provide has never been busier or more important across a highly diverse region of over 45 markets, each with their own distinct regulatory agenda. I am extremely proud to lead the APTRA team who deliver these services, headed by APTRA’s Executive Director, Anne Kavanagh and I thank her for her continued exemplary leadership. I would also like to thank Har Ying Pan of JTI and Nuno Amaral of ARI who have now left the APTRA board after several years of valuable service to the association.”
