President's Letter
The Association of Asthma Educators is the premier inter-professional
organization striving for excellence to raise the competency of diverse
individuals who educate patients and families living with asthma.
What are some of the highlights AAE has accomplished over the past year to
strive for this mission?
-
The first edition of the Journal, JAAE was released in February 2010.
This is a peer reviewed bimonthly journal and a member benefit.
-
AAE continues to publish a quarterly Newsletter. This is also a
member benefit. In 2004 the AAE Member Survey reported 82% of
respondents identified the AAE Newsletter as an important benefit.
This continues today.
-
The Becoming an Asthma Educator and Care Manager and Asthma Educator
Review courses continue to be offered in increasing numbers around the
country. Courses have been offered in CA, MT, TX, FL and NY.
-
The Asthma Educator Review Course on DVD was updated to incorporate
the EPR-3 Guidelines.
-
AAE continues to grow!
-
The Annual Asthma Educator Day occurs annually on the first Monday in
May.
-
A community service event is held at the annual AAE Conference. The
event is in its third year.
The Association of Asthma Educators is a non-profit organization dependent
on the many volunteers to make these highlights happen. Thank you to the
many volunteers who enable the Association of Asthma Educators to grow and
develop each year!
Sincerely,
Kathy Morris, DNP, ARNP, FNP-C, FAANP,
