What Alabama Poultry & Egg Association does

The Alabama Poultry & Egg Association (APEA, also styled AP&EA) is a private nonprofit trade association headquartered at 465 S Bainbridge St, Montgomery, Alabama. Its stated mission is to serve the common interest of the Alabama poultry industry through education, communication, research, and public affairs involvement. APEA acts as the recognized representative body for more than 2,500 family poultry farms, 10 processing companies, and more than 100 allied companies across over 49 Alabama counties, covering an industry that contributes over $15 billion in annual economic impact, more than 65% of the state's agricultural commodity sales, and supports over 86,000 jobs.

APEA's service portfolio consists of five membership tiers (Allied at $300/yr, Associate at $50/yr, Individual at $35/yr, Company Supervisory at $25/yr, and Grower at $20/yr), industry publications (the bimonthly 'Alabama Poultry' magazine and the bi-weekly national 'The Poultry Times' newspaper), annual workshops and seminars for company personnel, growers, and allied members, and a scholarship program awarding 13+ scholarships per year to poultry science students. The association partners with Auburn University (including the Charles Miller Jr. Poultry Research Education Center), the National Poultry Technology Center (NPTC), and the Alabama Avian Health Advisory Board on research, education, and avian health initiatives.

The association's revenue model is subscription-recurring membership dues, supplemented by publication and event programming. Distribution is direct, managed from the Montgomery office with no external sales channels or third-party resellers. APEA's go-to-market is community-led, focused on legislative advocacy (weekly coordination meetings with other agricultural associations and government agencies during Alabama legislative sessions), member communications across print, direct mail, and social media (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), and PR-driven positive coverage of the Alabama poultry industry. No acquisitions, funding rounds, or corporate structural moves are disclosed.
