The focus of the AMS Discussion Group is to allow AMS owners and managers to share current AMS management strategies with each other in order to improve AMS efficiencies, profitability, and sustainability. There will be a topic of discussion and short presentation for each meeting, but the main portion of each discussion group will be the interaction between AMS owners and managers.

This discussion group will be assembled and held in three different locations throughout NY State. We look forward to having you join us in November from 5:30pm to 8:00pm at a location near you.
