Dear Fellow PA AAP Member,
I hope you are all enjoying the last month of summer and are taking some time to relax and rejuvenate!
Earlier this month, Dr. Kate Tigue, our PA AAP Vice President, Annette Myarick, our Executive Director, and I had an invigorating experience at the Annual Leadership Conference at AAP Headquarters in Itasca, Illinois! There, we joined with other AAP Chapter leaders, as well as committee, council, and section leaders from all districts.
One of the goals of the Leadership Conference is to debate and vote on resolutions submitted by AAP members from around the United States and Canada. Resolutions are the vehicle that give AAP members the opportunity to provide input on AAP efforts to address important child health issues as well as issues that affect pediatricians in their daily practice. They can request the Academy act on a particular issue not already addressed in AAP policy or request the Academy inaugurate a new program or activity.
During the conference, 188 members voted on 75 resolutions, and 63 of those resolutions were adopted. At the conclusion of the resolution discussion, members ranked the 10 resolutions they felt were of the highest priority to AAP members. The following are the top 10 resolutions that were selected by voters, which will now be referred to areas of the Academy with related expertise for review and potential action:
