The 2020 AHPA Extraordinary Service award was presented by AHPA President Sue MacQueen to Lynn Richards at the CRA/AHPA ASM Gala. As an Occupational Therapist with the Arthritis Society, Lynn has been an active member of AHPA for many years. She has served as our liaison with the Ontario Rheumatology Association, re-establishing a strong relationship between the two organizations. This has formed a framework for other collaborations between AHPA and rheumatology associations. Her leadership and commitment to AHPA makes Lynn a worthy recipient of this award! |
