Board Retreat - Clai Dungy, MD, MPH

The purpose of the 2007 Board of Directors Retreat was to identify and plan strategic directions and initiatives for the APA for the next 3–5 years. Participants included current APA Board members and a broad and diverse representation of various APA constituencies. The retreat resulted in the development of a strategic action plan addressing four key areas: Equitable Children’s Agenda, Membership Collaboration, Faculty Development, and an overarching plan. Task forces were developed to refine the action steps to make recommendations to the Board for implementation of the strategic plan. Major topics addressed included organizational name change, revision of the mission statement, and transitioning the APA to a “remarkable association.”
