AAPPN is a member-driven professional association.
Volunteering with AAPPN can help you get to know your colleagues, build your leadership skills, and support your profession. The time commitment and depth of involvement is up to you.
Groups meet online, so you won’t spend your time in traffic!
Contact Kirk Roberts at gro.nppaa@krik or 360-734-3166 to find out more about the volunteer opportunities below.
Volunteers always welcome!

- Education Committee: Lend your voice to plan AAPPN’s educational activities, including our Annual Conference and Master Classes. (Year-round; 2 hours/month)
- Member Engagement Committee: Help develop strategies to connect and engage members. (Year-round; 2 hours/month)
- Nominating Committee: Don’t have time for a Board position? Help identify the next generation of AAPPN leaders. Work with your colleagues to cultivate leaders to take on Board positions. (Nov.-March; 2 hours/month)
Board positions:
Joining the Board is a great way to discover your leadership skills in a fun and supportive environment. Participate with your colleagues in helping our members thrive and serve as an ambassador in our professional community.
We recommend that members volunteer with a committee or special interest group before pursuing a Board position.
We value the life/work balance of our volunteers, so you won’t be overburdened with meetings or duties. The Board meets online every two months, and you will also have the opportunity to participate on a committee that meets your interests.
Board positions are elected in the late Fall each year. Open positions will be announced over the summer.
If you are interested in finding out more about any of these opportunities, please contact Kirk Roberts at gro.nppaa@krik or 360-734-3166.
