The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is written to acknowledge the relationship between APA
and SIP, is that of two equal but separate entities.
The advantages of the MOU are:
1). It represents an Organization to Organization relationship,
And
2). It represents a partnership relationship.
This will further support our invitation from APA to pursue a voting seat on the APA council of
representatives (COR) to the members of APA. This will provide needed validation to members that SIP
should have a voting seat on COR as we are separate, but related organizations.
