Miami, FL March 2005

By all accounts the APF meeting in Miami was a great success.

For a summary of what transpired during the meeting check out Stephen Aguilar-Millan’s post at http://www.eufo.org/apf02.htm .

Some additional reactions and comments from the meeting include:

• We can all offer each other something, members of the APF seem very willing to share and cooperate
• Well developed business models and methods of business networking are essential for the APF to thrive
  
• The tentativeness about the APF that was more evident in Austin and Las Vegas is fading away
• For a small group, there is a diversity of experience levels and ages in addition to nationality
• Even though the membership in the group is about 15-20% from outside of North America, the global aspect of the Association should be nurtured
  
• There is a challenge to constructively involve those members who can’t travel to the meetings
  
• We need to involve more members of the Association in the operation of the group, we have moved past the first stages of development, the success of the group is proportional to the time and energy contributed to it
