We look forward to working with the FP2 leadership to develop a strategic plan to guide FP2’s future direction, engage FP2 contributors in all aspects of the organization, develop regular FP2 communications to contributors and the industry, as well as continuing the already successful advocacy and research programs FP2 supports.”
