  • Earn RAC points
  • Enhance your resume/LinkedIn profile
  • Get published, and share your expertise with industry peers in the process

These are just three of the several reasons you should consider writing an article for RAPS' Regulatory Focus.

Don't sweat it if writing isn't your forte - there's nothing to be afraid of. The editorial board is there to you help you bring your ideas to life (and correct all those grammatical and punctuation errors). And once you get started, the entire writing process usually takes less time than you think. RAPS is looking for authors for the September and October 2016 issues of Regulatory FocusOr... maybe you have an idea for an article that could appear in any issue? Either way, now is your chance and here are more specific details.
