ROPA is a conference of the
American Federation of Musicians.

Its purpose:

• to promote the interests of our Member Orchestras and their musicians,
• to enhance communications among those orchestras and with the Federation, its Locals and its Conferences,
• and to pursue the general welfare and artistic well-being of our members.

Formed in 1984, ROPA represents over 80 orchestras and over 6000 musicians in North America.  As a representative organization, ROPA pursues other activities conducive to the general welfare and artistic well being of its members.
