President’s Message
Dear APALA colleagues,
What an extraordinary year! Our APALA members dedicate and volunteer their time, commitment, passion, and service to bring our association work and community together through many important projects. I would like to thank our many chairs and co-chairs, and the APALA Executive Board members as well as all those who have volunteered this year to serve in an APALA committee or task force. Thank you for all you do. APALA thrives with your leadership, support, and service!
