Your mission as an officer
More than just a place to earn CEUs — chapters are communities that connect, elevate, and uplift our members. (See what we did there?) It's your guidance that brings that vision to life!
Local chapters support member career growth through three core pillars:
Community – Bringing members together for mentorship, support, and connection.
Education – Hosting engaging events to share knowledge and grow skills.
Connection – Bridging the gap between the national office and local members.
You have the power to build communities that change lives, and we can't wait to see what you do.
Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.

Find your why
We recognize the time, dedication, and passion you bring to your local communities on behalf of AAPC — thank you. As you step into your role as a volunteer chapter officer, take a moment to find your why — the purpose that drives you.
Maybe it’s your passion for improving patient outcomes, mentoring new members, or seeing how AAPC transforms lives. Or maybe it’s simply the friendships and sense of community you’ve built.
Whatever your “why” is, let it inspire you, sustain you on the hard days, and remind you why this work matters. You’re making a difference — embrace the journey ahead!
What officers have to say...
I have gained so many networking connections and leadership development skills and enjoy helping other members!
Kelly Brickert
I love helping people and being an officer provides me the chance to help members find a job and answer questions.
Garret Cook
I needed to make myself marketable and make a life to raise my son. AAPC gave me that opportunity. I have grown to become a Director of Compliance Education and HIPAA Privacy.
Shannon Smith
I want to be the example I wish I had when I started. Serving gives me the chance to create space, open doors, and help others realize they belong and can thrive in this industry.
I joined my local chapter to network & find my first job. Through the years, I stayed for education, but he connections & friendships are much more valuable to me.
Melissa Carr
My goal was to join a local chapter and become an officer! I've met a great group of officers and members! With the in-person and online training it was very easy to learn.
