BACKGROUND
The Association of Petroleum Industry Cooperative Managers (APICOM) was founded in 1972 and is an association of unaffiliated petroleum industry oil spill cooperative managers. APICOM exists for the purpose of exchanging information related to the management of an oil spill response cooperative. It also serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas related to oil spill response technologies, operations, regulations and other issues of common interest to its members. APICOM also seeks to enhance public awareness of the role of oil spill response cooperatives in protecting the marine environment. APICOM participates in and sponsors governmental and industry workshops, conferences and seminars related to oil spill response.
