Communications Committee

The Communications Committee promotes the mission and role of APPs both inside and outside of the organization. This committee cultivates its members to stimulate discussions on contributions of APPs on the interdisciplinary care team, keep APSHO members apprised of current society initiatives, and demonstrate the value of being a member of our society. This is achieved through the member newsletter, the APSHO Advance, posts on the APSHO community blog and forum, and social media. We are passionate about conversations on advanced practice and honor ideas to increase communication channels among committees, APSHO members, and the APP community as a whole.
