The Association of Professional Working Parents ('APWP') is a unique networking and support group for likeminded professional working fathers and mothers who have children across a broad spectrum of ages from birth up to early adulthood, and who balance their professional working lives with their family commitments.

The APWP provides professional working parents with the opportunity to network in a relaxed, supportive, informal and friendly atmosphere. We also arrange dynamic speakers from diverse industry sectors who cover wide ranging topics of a legal, psychological, medical, educational or financial nature of interest to professional working parents.
