Division on Practice highlights at the convention

The Division on Practice (DoP) had a number of events for the 2018 AAPA Convention! These are great opportunities to learn more about the division, what activities and projects we have been working on over the past year, and to provide suggestions and feedback on the future direction of the division. Several of our membership joined us!

1. DoP Social on Tuesday, August 7th at 7pm (Location: Press Club) – This is a great opportunity to meet and get to know the DoP members over food and drinks! This event is open to all, but RSVP is strongly encouraged.
2. DoP Lunch Meeting on Wednesday, August 8th from 12:30pm to 1:30pm in Room 2 – This meeting is scheduled during the lunch hour of the AAPA Convention. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the division and what projects we have been working on over the past year. We also hope to use this opportunity to hear from DoP members on what you envision for the division moving forward!
3. DoP Business Meeting on Thursday, August 9th at 12pm (Location: Amber India) – This is a business lunch meeting for outgoing and incoming Executive Committee members to discuss division business. All DoP members are welcome to attend and participate in the meeting, but RSVP is required.
