Office keeps Academy on top of government activities

Many of our members have had no contact with the AAP Office of Government Liaison in Washington, D.C., and therefore know little about it. The office is an important division in our total organization and we would like for all of our members to know more about it and appreciate all that goes on there.

We did not have a government liaison office until July 1970. A modest beginning was made at that time with one lobbyist and one secretary being located in an office across the Potomac River in Arlington, Va. In the 15 years since that beginning, the staff has been enlarged gradually as the work load demanded additions.
