COMMITTEES AND APPOINTMENTS
The AAP/MCAAP Committees, Appointments, and Expert Representatives are the channels of communication for members and the place for them to get involved. Each person or group, working in association with the Executive Board, establishes priorities for the year.
MCAAP committees accomplish their objectives largely through the valuable efforts of their members, addressing a wide range of issues. Each plays a vital role in the overall functioning of the Chapter.
Please contact Cathleen Haggerty at chaggerty@mcaap.org if you would like more information about any of the positions.
