The Sustainability and Engagement Committee was created to grow membership, improve member engagement and increase Chapter value for individual WCAAP members. To better understand what WCAAP members need, we began chapter “listening sessions” across Washington State. At these casual networking sessions, which will continue in 2016, chapter leaders interact with members and engage in constructive dialogue about practice-related issues, opportunities for growth and engagement, and member needs.

Committee Goals:

1. Increase engagement and membership both among pediatric physicians and advanced practice providers (Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants) in Washington.
2. Plan for and support WCAAP’s financial sustainability.
3. Identify “chapter champions” at locations across the state that interact with pediatric residents and other trainees.
4. Continue to increase and expand member value as well as member engagement in leadership activities.

We invite you to join the Sustainability and Engagement Committee if you are interested in helping us find ways to increase the value of our membership, engage other pediatricians in your community or help develop new strategies for the financial health of our chapter!
