Welcome from the Chair

Dear AP3G Members and Colleagues,

It is a privilege and an honor to introduce myself as the new Chair of the Advanced Practice Provider Professional Group (AP3G). I am deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me and excited to continue building on the strong foundation established by our past leadership.

Our profession continues to evolve in dynamic and meaningful ways. As Advanced Practice Providers, we are uniquely positioned to lead with clinical excellence, compassion, and innovation across all areas of patient care. The strength of AP3G lies in our shared commitment to professional growth, collaboration, and advocacy — values that will continue to guide us in the months ahead.

As Chair, my focus will be on fostering engagement, expanding professional development opportunities, and ensuring that AP3G remains a supportive and empowering community for all its members. I look forward to working closely with our Executive Board, committees, and each of you to advance our shared goals and celebrate the vital contributions APPs make every day.

Thank you for your continued dedication to your patients, your teams, and to one another. I am excited for the journey ahead and confident that, together, we will continue to elevate the voice and impact of Advanced Practice Providers across our organization.

With gratitude and enthusiasm,
