Abstract
AAPL remains highly focused on the evolving purpose and usefulness of professional associations in the current healthcare environment. This includes how associations must adapt to rapidly changing landscapes, which now include technology advancements, shifts in government policy, and the ever-evolving professional needs of members and clients. The current environment challenges all associations to remain relevant while addressing this new and varied set of contemporary changes. AAPL is already meeting this challenge in a host of new, different, and innovative ways, but always with the predominant focus on member value and evaluating the variety of benefits provided for our AAPL constituency.
