Your APTS membership offers you the opportunity to join coalitions that take disciplined, targeted approaches to expanding federal funding from a diversity of sources. Coalitions of like-minded subsets of APTS members work with APTS coalition leaders to pursue targeted funding for services that are of particular interest to them. Additionally, coalitions serve as a resource group, peer review mechanism and sounding board for member stations. Read on to learn more about the coalitions.
