A couple of weeks ago, members of the NYS AHPERD Executive Council and Board came together for our Summer Meeting! 💙

It was a great opportunity to connect, collaborate, share ideas, and continue working together to strengthen our Association and plan for the year ahead. From thoughtful conversations to plenty of fun, we’re excited about what’s in store for NYS AHPERD and our members!

A big thank you to everyone who brought their time, ideas, and energy to the table. Here’s to another great year of moving our profession, and our Association, forward!
