Professional cards

The APTS is offering you two kinds of professional card: a neutral model, with lines on the back to write down your contact info and relevant information, and a model with the name of the president of your local executive. If you want the neutral model, you must specify a quantity; for the second model, you will receive a box of 250 cards.

Please send your order to Muriel Beaudet (mbeaudet@aptsq.com), indicating:

  • the address where you would like the cards to be sent
  • for the neutral model, how many cards you want 
  • for the card with the president’s name:

            please say so)
        -   phone number
