Olympia Area Advanced Practice Association

This group has evolved over the past few years and now numbers over 120 members. We meet every other month or so during the calendar year, for networking with each other and education about a wide variety of topics. The Association is open to anyone practicing in an advance role,  usually a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant, who live in the Olympia area. In general, this includes Thurston, Lewis, Mason and parts of Pierce County. We also have some students in our midst.

Our programs range from presentation by our own local nurse practitioners, pharmaceutical representatives and special forums and events of interest. We are always seeking new topics, and individuals to present something from their specialty. Our members have a lot of latitude to develop the programs they would like. We’ve had some great programs over the years. Hosting a program is not a difficult task. If you wish to host a program, please contact me, and I will provide you with guidance in planning a meeting and a mailing list. We try to plan diverse programs, and your ideas are always welcome, and also maintain a database of previous programs and sponsors.  

If you are interested in serving on our Board, please one of our board members.  These folks are the backbone of this organization, and help coordinate our programs and activities.

As postage and mailing costs are becoming prohibitive, we have chosen to limit our mailings to a few times a year.  Currently they are $20, and include a copy of a directory, and the flyers that we mail out to folks.  We will also maintain a database and web site, where a calendar of events will be kept current.

Our web site was born in 2001, and we have quite an extensive an email list.  We feel limiting our mailing list to paid membership will decreased our overall costs significantly. If you wish to be taken off of our mailing list, or have changes to make, please contact me.

If you would like to be on our mailing list, please print, fill out, and mail in a membership form to the address listed on the form.
