Why will APEX cost $1.9 million?
$1.9 million may sound like a lot, but keep in mind that this is a five-year initiative. These funds will facilitate the involvement of thousands of industry members over the course of these five years. The most important items in the APEX budget relate to technology, communication, and volunteers. Technology is used to facilitate the work of the industry panels, and to capture the results of the various meetings of volunteers located throughout the US and Canada.
