Another amazing Congress has come and gone, leaving all attendees with wonderful memories, especially from the Chapter Exchange! On Wednesday, May 17, local chapter members joined Elizabeth Herrera, Chapter Relations Manager, for an interactive networking session with their peers from more than 130 active APA local chapters. The event provided attendees with the opportunity to meet APA’s Board of Advisors from each of the nine regions and discuss in-person ideas to make their chapters even stronger.
