To better serve our member companies, API divides its membership by industry segments.  Member committees meet annually to develop consensus priorities for API's research and advocacy programs. Our staff then works to develop the research tools and advocacy strategies to achieve the membership's goals.

Together, we're advancing the interests of the industry while working to earn the trust of our customers.
