President’s Message

Dear APALA Members,

In the past few months, we have had many moments to be thankful for, to celebrate, and to reflect on. APALA, as an organization, made a tremendous impact in our profession and our communities. We advocated for ourselves, our fellow members, and our colleagues across organizations. Although we have made an impact throughout our networks, both professionally and personally, there are still many areas that we need to address and change for the better.
