The outreach roundtable at Conference was very popular again this year, with almost 40 attendees. Participants were full of questions and suggestions for outreach in medical, educational, and other settings, and many piercers saidthe “You Deserve It” postcards were extremely helpful with outreach as well as for dealing with “price-shoppers.”

Everyone was especially interested in the new Outreach PowerPoint presentation. Geared towards middle-school students, this PowerPoint is designed to help piercers deliver the safe piercing message. And it is now ready for use! Contact outreach@safepiercing.org to receive a copy of this presentation.

Board members and committee chairs stated that the roundtable generated an unprecedented interest in volunteering with the APP. It is clear that outreach is something many Conference attendees feel very passionate about, as well as rewarded by.

A big thank you from the Outreach Committee to everyone who attended the roundtable!

Editor’s Note: Are you interested in volunteering with the APP?

We have a new survey designed to assess your skills and interests!  Email Julie Taylor at volunteer@safepiercing.org to have the survey sent to you. This survey is for those interested in volunteering as a committee member and/or for projects throughout the year and is not designed for prospective Conference volunteers.
