Update & Announcement from the AAPL

ANNUAL MEETING

2020 AAPL ANNUAL MEETING

June 17-20, 2020 

EVENT UPDATE

AAPL recognizes the impact and uncertainty that COVID-19 is creating in our industry and communities. Given the growing threat and uncertainty of this virus, the AAPL Board of Directors unanimously voted to cancel the venue for the 66th Annual Meeting that was scheduled to be held in Huntington Beach, California, on June 17-20. The health and safety of all our attendees is our highest priority. 

In place of an in-person annual meeting this year, we will hold a virtual meeting. The Executive Committee will meet on Tuesday, June 16th. The AAPL Board Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 17th. The Opening Session, Awards Ceremony, Membership Business Meeting and all education sessions will be pre-recorded. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, the Board of Directors also voted to eliminate the registration fee and provide the Annual Meeting as a complimentary benefit (a total value of $600+) for all AAPL members.

Thank you for your support of this event and your patience as we navigate this unprecedented situation. Please stay tuned for more information.
