Public Policy and Advocacy Committee (PPAC)
The APA Public Policy and Advocacy Committee (PPAC) consists of dozens of APA members from across the nation who collectively advocate for child health policy issues at the federal and state levels. Through the enthusiastic work of PPAC members (and in partnership with the Public Policy Council, a consortium of pediatric organizations), the APA reviews, signs onto, and occasionally writes major child health policy letters that reach key members of the House, Senate, and Department of Health and Human Services. At critical moments, PPAC coordinates APA-wide action alerts urging individuals to contact their legislators. PPAC also helps the APA Board and other APA groups with the creation and review of both publicly disseminated policy statements and internal APA policies. Finally, PPAC sponsors a prestigious Public Policy and Advocacy Award to honor those who have truly transformed the child health policy and advocacy landscape in the United States. Membership in the committee is open to all APA members! Please contact Paul Chung (PPAC Chair) to be added onto the mailing list.
