Fun Extra

In This Issue

Dear IAAPA FEC members

I hope that you are all doing as best as you can during these unprecedented times. I have heard from many of you from emails, calls and on social media and have enjoyed those conversations.

I wanted you to hear from each other too, so I asked members of the IAAPA FEC Committee some questions

Watch the videos here. 

The questions were: 

1. Share an inspiring community or employee initiative you've learned of during this crisis.
2. What have you been doing with the extra down-time during the last few months?
3. If you were given a billboard on a major highway, what would you want your message to be for the world to see?
4. Once the stay-at-home orders are lifted, what is the first thing you will do?
