Dear APAP Members and Colleagues,

I hope this finds you safe and well.

My name is Lisa Richards Toney, the new President and CEO of APAP. I wanted to share with you this video message introducing myself to you, our members.

I bring you greetings from Washington, DC, on the indigenous lands of the Anacostans, the Pascataway and the Pamunkey. We acknowledge our Native space as homage to what was here before. In acknowledging what was---we deepen our readiness to accept what is and what will become. And it is with eyes wide open to our past struggles, our current realities, and our future potential that I join you.
The APAP Board and Staff are all working hard to live up to this exceptional time in leading the field and supporting you. That is where our passion lies. We want you here, we are here for you, and you have my personal commitment that we will do our best for you.

I am honored to have been chosen to serve you as President and CEO of APAP, and I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you---your challenges, your ideas and your hopes.

 Sincerely,
Lisa Richards Toney
President and CEO, APAP
