AAPT Members: Nominations for Officers due April 15, 2008

[Guest guest]

March 30, 2008

Attention AAPT Members:

Yes you can! You can become the next president, vice-president,

secretary, treasurer, or area director of the American Association of

Pharmacy Technicians. As an organization that was founded for and

continues to be led by pharmacy technicians I am calling each member

to strongly consider what it is that you are willing to do to help our

Association grow and persist in representing the interest of pharmacy

technicians.

Some of you are likely interested but are pondering because you think

the task is too great, you don't have the time, or even the expertise.

However, I want to assure you that if you are willing to put your

doubts to rest and step out on faith that you can become an effective

leader in AAPT.

The current AAPT officers are committed to helping transition

individuals into these leadership roles. We recognize that it takes

new and innovative ideas, energy, and motivation for continued growth.

So I ask you now to strongly consider where you would like AAPT to be,

the things you would like to see AAPT accomplish and how you or

someone you know can contribute to bringing these things to fruition.

After reviewing the guidelines, submit your nomination NOW! Yes you

can, only if you will.

Respectfully,

Covington
