Child Care
Following up on the successful child care service offered in New Orleans in
2003, AAPA will again offer Camp AAPA, supported by General Mills, child care
for children aged 6 months to 12 years during the annual conference. Please
remember, children under the age of 18, even if they are registered conference
guests or attendees, are not permitted in the CME sessions or the Exhibit Hall.
Available again during AAPA's Annual PA Conference. We understand that as parents it is difficult to manage both work and home life. It is especially hard when you throw in a business trip. AAPA will once again provide subsidized child care supported by General Mills during the 2005 annual conference. A nationally recognized and licensed conference child care provider, ACCENT on Children's Arrangements, Inc., will be available on-site at the convention center to care for the children of AAPA conference attendees.
