natl assoc. of pa's...about time....

Sorry but we have been putting our efforts into getting the site running, getting the word out, taking on advisors, etc. Our web designer (who is exceptional) just grabbed a few stock photos. We will gradually be upgrading and improving the site. We want real PA photos on it. We will even ask for everyone to send in photos and we can pick some out. Hey, it was either that picture or a basket of kittens.

Sounds like great ideas... You guys deserve a lot of credit for doing this!!!
It's exciting to think of prospective future impact this will have!!!!!

What kind of response, if any have you had from the AAPA thus far?

The same as the responses to the threads on this forum.

You can find the counter on the welcome page under UPDATES. It's strange I just logged in and it said that there are 4 registered members, but none are from WA (that's where you (EMEDPA) are right?)

We have 5 MD/DOs we are considering and they will be on board shortly. We also have invited a CEO of a hospital and will be involving students. This is a work in progress. We have to look at our priorities and get things done in order.

For those keeping track-

First Member - Nicolle Alvarez (Student)

Just as soon as I get the approval from work to be paying for this, (which I'm sure they will) I'll be in, locked and loaded ! ! !

Ditto, I hope to get approval on Monday.

Normally would sign up, pay out of pocket, and not worry about re-imbursement, however, we are currently living just off my salary from now until June while my partner completes student teaching this semester and we have curtailed all "extraneous" expenses.

A tiny glitch on the member page allows you to click the Delaware state link under "Locations" and will list all current members, no matter their location.

Not saying it needs to be fixed any time soon; y'all certainly have enough on your plates to do. Just an interesting "easter egg" for those as curious as me.

[EMEDPA]

ok, the web based membership page is operational. I have verbal committments from several of my friends and colleagues that they will be joining soon. time to step up and support this fine new organization folks. the more of you who join the louder our voice will be in getting our issues addressed on a national level.
