A Message from the President
Dear Colleagues,
I am honored to accept the position of PAPPC President for the 2025-2026 term. At our annual training institute, Moving Mountains; Creating a Path for Change I took my oath of office. Our 103rd Annual Training Institute and Conference was an experience for learning, networking, and providing insight & ideas for our futures. I am grateful for the support of the Executive Board who worked tirelessly to bring you a conference that was insightful and relevant to the many changes in our industry.
As President of PAPPC, I promise to execute the duties with professionalism and honor that has been set forth by PAPPC for more than 100 years. We are faced with constant change in our profession that causes us to adjust to the times. In our industry, we are all learning to adapt and embrace the changes that we face. We need to keep our minds open and remember the reason for choosing this profession and the impact you can make on an individual’s life. We have engaged in training of evidence-based practices and daily we are making an impact with these tools. While we sometimes struggle with the changes that have been imposed upon us in our profession, we must trust implementing the changes will have a positive impact on society and produce positive outcomes. We are empowered with the knowledge of data driven decision making and are confident that it will propel us into the future.
As a first generation to immigrant parents, I value the hard work and resilience that my colleagues use everyday in their work. In the members of PAPPC I see the strength to try anything, talent to succeed, courage enough to fail, wisdom to learn, and resilience to bounce back even stronger. These are the traits that I will encourage and promote. I will guide the Executive Board members to provide this association with a viable plan to move into the future. I am thankful for the example that has been set forth before me by the Executive Board and look forward to the next chapter. It is with you and your unselfish commitment, along with member participation, that gives us sustainability for years to come. I am humbled by the support and encouragement of being entrusted with the position of President of PAPPC.
I invite and encourage you to actively engage in becoming involved with PAPPPC by requesting to join our Executive Board. I ask that you promote new members by sharing your experience. We work fully on a volunteer basis and with the support of individual agencies who are willing to share the time and talents of their employees. You can submit an email with any questions about becoming active on the executive board to web@pappc.org
I plan to continue Moving Mountains and creating a path for change!
Sincerely,
Claudia Fisher
PAPPC President
