The 2013 Annual Meeting was a huge success and our largest meeting ever.  Having the meeting in the center of our largest member concentration was very fruitful.  Many new people participated in our exciting event.

Plans are now beginning for our 25th Annual Meeting.  It will take place in Seattle, WA and we will overlap with the International Neuropsychological Society Meeting for the first time in many years.  Please check the meeting page on the web site for more information as it becomes available:  http://www.anpaonline.org/2014-annual-meeting
