Dear NYS AAP – Chapter 2 Members,
All NYS AAP – Chapter 2 members were invited to participate in our Strategic Planning Meeting on October 15, 2015. The meeting was a great success and resulted in 6 strategic priorities/goals with dedicated workgroups to develop and execute each one. 
One of these goals is to offer advocacy training to our members, including residents and medical students. To this end, I’m pleased to invite you to our first Advocacy Webinar on June 3rd from 12 noon to 1 pm. There is no charge for Chapter 2 members to attend.   Please see below for details.
Best,
J.
