Moderator ventana Posted October 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 13, 2021 Special Election AAPA is conducting a special election to fill the president-elect vacancy on AAPA’s Board of Directors. In accordance with the AAPA Bylaws, the immediate past president fulfills the duties (but not the office) of president-elect until a new president-elect assumes office. Once elected, the new president-elect will immediately assume office and serve the remainder of the unexpired term before serving subsequent terms as president-elect (beginning July 1, 2022), president, and immediate past president. AAPA encourages all eligible voters to engage and participate in the Special Election. To learn more about the Special Election please visit our FAQs page.

Reality Check 2 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Rev - what questions are being asked, please? I am very leery of the lack of transparency at AAPA surrounding recent past events. Curious how they are spinning things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect them here tomorrow, or an explanation from me why not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator rev ronin Posted October 26, 2021 Administrator Share Posted October 26, 2021 I don't know if the email ever happened; I didn't get anything yet. The board has interviewed 2 of 3 candidates, and will be making a recommendation before voting opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Check 2 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I am not paying AAPA these days so I can't vote. Curious who is involved though and what their respective agendas are. I won't come back to AAPA until/unless they develop a spinal column and some transparency. We seem to have a lack of cohesion and representation of the majority of PAs and some CYA stuff going on. Still tiptoeing around the 900 lb purple elephant in the room - Graduated Independence vs death of the profession. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple of really strong candidates running, and picking just one was not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelseff Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Michael Doll was the only one who had a fleshed out answer for the questions on his bio. So... I voted for him...resisted voting for Bendy Johnson just for the humor but had to vote like an adult 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
