We are proud to share that the 2015 ASPR
Annual Conference, held in Orlando, Florida,
was another huge success- a record breaker, with
well over 765 in attendance (including both
attendees and sponsors/exhibitors). This year,
we also celebrated our 25th anniversary through
various activities during the conference and an
outstanding Monday evening event (anniversary
party) at Universal City Walk.
Thanks to the ASPR Education Committee
for planning a fantastic line up of speakers and
events. We would also like to thank the education
committee co-chairs, Robin Schiffer, FASPR,
OhioHealth MedCentral Hospitals (Mansfield,
Ohio) and Jennifer Barber, FASPR, OSF
Healthcare (Peoria, Illinois) for their leadership
and dedication. Furthermore, we would like
to express our sincerest appreciation to the
conference sponsors and exhibitors, without
whom, we would not be able to offer such an
exceptional meeting.
During the annual business meeting, the
Volunteer of the Year Award was presented to
Robin Schiffer, FASPR, who has contributed
much of her time to preparation for the 2014
and 2015 ASPR Annual Conferences. Robin has
done a fabulous job and we are so grateful for
her hard work and dedication to ASPR and the
education committee. Congratulations, Robin!
We also said goodbye to our outgoing committee
co-chairs and board members and welcomed our
new committee co-chairs and board members,
who assumed their new roles at the annual
business meeting.
