What advice would you give to other Academy members to make the most of their membership?

"Get involved and stay connected! The value of your Academy membership grows when you actively engage. Start by exploring the online platforms. Take advantage of virtual learning opportunities like webinars and the many educational resources available on the Academy’s website. And if you’re able, attend the APTA Combined Sections Meeting and don’t miss ALI Fest. It’s one of the most energizing and welcoming events of CSM. You’ll leave with new ideas, new connections, and renewed energy. Again, get involved! Join a SIG or CG (catalyst group)! We love to hear new ideas and engage in thoughtful conversations to move our profession forward!"
