Welcome to the July/August 2024 edition of the AAPM Newsletter, the pre-Annual Meeting edition. Read at https://aapm.me/461Lkac Inside you will find an update from the organizing committee with more details on the meeting. Also in this issue, AAPM President Todd Pawlicki summarizes the progress made on AAPM’s strategic plan and other important updates, and Treasurer Samuel Armato reports on AAPM’s financial landscape and the necessity for change, including a proposed member dues increase which will be discussed during the 2024 Annual Business Meeting. The Special Interest Group for this issue is the American Physical Society (APS) Topical Group on Medical Physics (GMED); read their report to learn how medical physicists can connect with APS through GMED to further our science, education, and outreach initiatives. This issue also contains updates from the International Council, with features on three Global Rising Stars, and the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee, along with many other interesting reports. Please share the Newsletter articles you enjoy with your social media network, as the Newsletter is available for all to read and not restricted to AAPM members.
