Resolution Writing for the ALC this Week!

Resolution Writing for the

Annual Leadership Conference (ALC)

Wednesday, March 15 | 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Have you ever thought “The AAP should…?” Well, you’re in luck! Any AAP member can put together a resolution for the Annual Leadership Conference (ALC), which is how the members of the AAP let the leadership know what want our organization to focus on. There have been many great and important resolutions authored by Chapter 1 members, including several that have made the top 10.

Dr. John Takayama is our District IX Chapter Forum Management Committee representative, and he will be presenting a chapter chat this Wednesday, March 15 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM on Resolution Writing for the Annual Leadership Conference. If you have an idea, a suggestion or just something that you are passionate about, please reach out - we would love to help you put together a great resolution.

Please visit our Event Page for more information on our upcoming events.
