Dear WAPOR members,

As WAPOR heads towards our 80th anniversary, we are making a lot of progress. WAPOR now has 4 regional chapters, and our membership reached a record high (640 coming from over 100 countries in our last year end count). WAPOR has a new Constitution from 2023, and the activities of the association are now coordinated by 7 standing committees all headed by elected officials. Our education materials include video sessions from 27 webinars, our resource library features the updated version of the Code of Professional Ethics and Practice, among many more open guidelines. Another important milestone is the forthcoming 2024 annual conference on July 28-31 in Seoul.

One important foundation of our Association's activity is communication. Now that so much work has been done, important questions arise: What should be the vectors of the Association's future development? Which activities should WAPOR prioritize in 2025-2030? How can we further boost our membership? Which cooperation and partnerships should we seek? How can WAPOR support our regional chapters and help them grow? How can WAPOR Committees work together to achieve their development plans?

In anticipation of the 2024 annual conference on July 28-31 in Seoul, WAPOR leadership would like to learn your ideas and thoughts on these and other matters. To kick off the discussion, we are inviting all WAPOR members to share your ideas and raise your concerns through this short survey. In this survey, we ask you for your feedback, thoughts and ideas on the current accomplishments of WAPOR, recommendations for improvements as well as ideas and suggestions for new initiatives.

We thank you in advance for your input and very much look forward to seeing you at the WAPOR Annual Conference in Seoul!
