New members of the AAPM are sometimes overwhelmed by the size and complexity of the Association. They may be discouraged from taking full advantage of its benefits or from participating in some activities. The leadership of the Association recognizes that this situation exists, and has undertaken to make the Association more accessible to new members. A symposium entitled "The AAPM: An Introduction to New Members" will be held on Wednesday, July 17 from 4:00 - 5:30 pm -- immediately preceding the 2002 AAPM Annual Business Meeting. This session is intended to introduce any interested member to both the organization of the Association, and to its officers and representative senior members.

Make plans to attend the 2002 AAPM Annual Business Meeting where the AAPM Executive Committee members, council chairs and some committee chairs will report on the status of the organization. The Annual Business Meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 17 from 5:45 pm - 6:45 pm.
