Join your colleagues in making APHON a more robust association, and volunteer your time and expertise. APHON seeks members at all levels of practice, education, and experience to serve. APHON also offers opportunities for all levels of commitment and availability.

The work of APHON’s committees is directed by the APHON Board of Directors and may shift based on the priorities of the association and alignment with the strategic plan. All committee members should be current APHON members and in good standing for the duration of their term.
