Create a Community


AACP Connect Communities facilitate networking, discussions, sharing, and dissemination of knowledge between individuals who share the same subject matter interests. Communities must be utilized on a consistent basis. Please review the AACP Connect Community Guidelines:

  • Applicants must demonstrate a need for the Community and prove that this need is not currently being met.
  • Community approval has no bearing on any future section or SIG applications.
  • The AACP Operational Efficiency Workgroup, comprised of AACP staff members, will review the AACP Connect Community documentation and application.
  • Creation of a Community does not require approval by the Board of Directors.
  • Training for all new leaders named in the Community application is mandatory.
  • AACP staff will provide guidance for the leadership roles but will not serve as a Community leader or facilitator.
  • Continuance: The Community will be reviewed every 12 months from its inception. The Community will be dissolved if the Community falls below the required average of five discussion posts per month.
