AUPHA is once again pleased to be participating in Health Professions Week (HPW) from November 14-19, 2020. To assist AUPHA staff with the virtual fair portion of HPW, a call for volunteers was recently sent to the membership for subject matter experts in the field. You did not disappoint. The response was overwhelmingly positive, resulting in more than enough volunteers to ensure the field of health administration is well represented during the event. AUPHA would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time and knowledge, and especially to those that were selected to represent the profession during the virtual fair. HPW, currently in its 5th year, is expected to continue into the future and we hope that you continue to offer your expertise and guidance. It is due to your hard work and dedication that AUPHA is able to successfully participate in these kinds of events, so thank you all once again.
