Professional Affinity Groups

NEMA's 14 Professional Affinity Groups (PAGs) operate on both a formal and informal level, providing professional development workshops and seminars, as well as a forum for colleagues to network and discuss issues. PAG activities are open to all NEMA members. Each group is chaired by experienced colleagues willing to share their expertise, ideas and information.
