😘 WE WILL MISS YOU!!

🕰️ The time has come in our industry for the next wave of organizations to move forward.

👂🏼 We must listen to our trustees and members, whose energy and time to push our mission onward has markedly diminished.

🧬 Additionally, we want to be respectful of the origins of the Foundation: why it was established; what its purpose served for both APDT and its members.

🤔 Therefore, after much discussion, contemplation and evaluation, the Foundation came to the difficult decision to cease operations and dissolve all assets.

⏰ It is time – and the support of our organization was too sparse to maintain functionality.

🐶 We will miss you at conference this year; however, our VP Catherine & Secretary-Treasurer Suzanne will represent us and answer your questions.

☺️ Thank you for your historical support of the APDT Foundation and our many programs over the years.
