    Hello BPABC Community, 

    I hope everyone is doing well. This message was posted under Announcements on the Community home page, but also sharing via this channel to maximize awareness.  

    This is an important update regarding restructuring of AAPS Communities. Briefly, there is a large number of Communities (34) currently in existence, which have a fair amount of overlap among them in terms of scope. In the interest of streamlining Communities' structure, and after comprehensive consultations and reviews, AAPS will be reducing this number to 8 core Communities, as shown in the snapshot below. 

    The BPABC Community will be rolled under the new "Quality" Community and existing members will automatically migrate to the new structure. You're welcome to join more than one Community. The new Communities will become effective in March 2026. Regarding Community leadership, AAPS will call for volunteers to apply for Chair and Vice Chair roles as well as other positions.    

    Warm regards, 

    Mayank Patel

    BPABC Community Chair
