Chapter Meeting • Register

We will host our last board meeting of the fiscal year at Mission Dupont Circle. This is an in-person event only. Guests will have the opportunity to meet our current executive team and new At-Large Board members.

Food and drinks will be provided – Tex Mex theme. Space is limited for this special engagement. Plan to attend and listen to committee report outs as well as meet your colleagues interested in special initiatives.

We’ve chosen a location in the heart of the city for easy access. The restaurant is located just diagonal from the Dupont Circle metro’s northern exit. If you know where Zorba’s restaurant is, it’s even closer to the metro.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion Statement on Racism

As health care providers dedicated to promoting the health and wellness of pediatric populations and pediatricians in the District of Columbia, the DC Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics understands the direct impact of systemic racism on the communities in which we serve. As healthcare providers dedicated to promoting the health and wellness of the pediatric population in the District of Columbia, the DC AAP is committed to advancing the care of ALL children. We understand that we cannot accomplish this goal without tackling systemic racism and the many forms it shows up in the lives of the children for which we care.

DC AAP aims to foster an environment that supports people of all races, ethnicities, and cultures. The chapter aims to support systems that enable equitable access to resources so that our patients and members can thrive. DC AAP also endorses professional workshops and continuing learning opportunities that highlight programs that are diverse, equitable and inclusive.

Through advocacy, education, and support, we will strive to create a more equitable world for our patients. We will advocate locally and nationally to improve policies to ensure all our children have equal access to healthcare. We will educate our patients and our community to ensure we are delivering high quality equitable care through programs that are diverse, equitable and inclusive.
