INFORMATION DISSEMINATION

No business operates in a vacuum, and news of industry developments and information pertinent to production are a material benefit of AICP membership. Through a bimonthly National Newsletter and regular communiqués updating members on important issues, the Association keeps its members informed. Industry Alerts on topics of immediate concern are faxed and emailed to members' offices, and Bulletins on less urgent but equally important matters are sent on a regular basis. Two national offices, in New York and Los Angeles, as well as local chapter offices serve members across the country, answering questions or providing referrals to expert resources.

The Association also maintains a website on the Internet (www.aicp.com) offering information on commercial production and AICP activities, plus a Classifieds section and Directory. The latter, updated bimonthly, provides agencies easy access to data on AICP member companies. Where industry developments are complex and generate many questions, the AICP creates special services to meet members' informational needs. The AICP has on staff a full-time labor consultant, available to assist members with questions regarding labor agreements and union requirements.
