Community Involvement - The APA is also dedicated to the improvement of our communities and the quality of life in Arizona.  At the 2003 general meeting the APA membership voted to sponsor Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.  Through an initial cash donation and additional point of sales donations collected by our members, the APA will join companies such as Discover, Ford Motor Company, Marshalls and Walgreens in sponsoring this great cause.  This type of philanthropy allows Arizona's pawnbrokers to give back to their communities.

Meetings & Conventions - The APA holds an Annual Convention and quarterly executive board meetings.  The meetings and conventions are open to all active members.  These events offer our membership the opportunity to express issues that are important to them, their community and our industry as a whole.  Please click on the NEWS tab for the latest convention and meeting information.
