IAAP Rebranding
The rebranding efforts are underway. For the Citrus Valley Chapter that means a new, fresh updated website; please provide feedback for any improvements. Weve also updated the TaMM to correlate with the IAAP branding protocols. All our chapter documents will be updated in the coming weeks. Please discontinue using the old logo in any of your materials and online presence. If you need a copy of the chapter logo for your social media presence please send me an email and we will send it your way. Chapter members are only authorized to use the chapter specific logo; there are legal repercussions for anyone using any other IAAP logos.
