Sixteen APPA members and staff met on December 3-4, 2019 to discuss the content, delivery, and purpose of APPA’s Body of Knowledge (BOK). Facilitated by APPA Fellow Bill Daigneau, the group discussed the current use and visibility of the BOK;conducted a deepdive analysis of its strengths, weaknesses, and audiences; and developed helpful recommendations that the Information and Communications Committee and APPA staff will review and determine how best to implement. Participants were unanimous that the BOK is necessary.
