Grassroots Forum for Program Directors
The Grassroots Forum for Program Directors is a combination town hall meeting and an opportunity for job-related or regulatory presentations, with emphasis on the meeting aspects. It takes place each year at the APPD Annual Spring Meeting.
Program Directors may self-nominate to be a facilitator for a 3-year term. Current facilitators review and put forward one name to be approved by the APPD Board and replace a previous facilitator.
Current facilitators of the Grassroots Forum for Program Directors are:
- Robert Brooker, MD (2019-2021)
- Heather Howell, MD (2021-2024)
- Keith Ponitz, MD (2019-2022)
- Ilana Torine, DO (2021-2024)
