The local chapters of APPNA have evolved over the years in several states with our chapter now being 6 years old. Although The Greater St. Louis chapter has over the years seen a lot of activity but the membership strength could be better. Just as in the central APPNA where alumni from all medical schools are represented it will be great if we engaged the alumni from different schools in the local chapters to make concentrated effort to bring their members to the unified platform and learn from each others experience.

We can start here from St. Louis and encourage creation of local alumni representatives to be responsible for bringing in their peers for active involvement without losing the focus of a unified chapter with the goal of reaching out and giving back to the community as a well disciplined group.
