We are fresh off a memorable week in Seattle for AAPP 2026 where we were joined by over 680 attendees plus another 200+ virtually. I’m feeling incredibly grateful to be working alongside members to help shape the future of psychiatric pharmacy. From reconnecting with AAPP founders and past presidents to meeting members and new faces from across the profession, the energy around emerging, pressing topics was energizing and encouraging.
It was great to hear insights from our many speakers and to witness so many fresh ideas and perspectives coming together. With the political climate continuing to shift, our connections as a community and advocates are more important than ever. We’ll be working hard to ensure your voice is heard. There’s never been a more important time to stay engaged with your professional community. After connecting with so many of you during the meeting, it’s clear that AAPP continues to be the trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and action on the issues that matter most.
We’re grateful to all of you who continue to show up, speak out, and shape the future of our field. Let’s keep the momentum going—your voice is needed now more than ever.
