KATIE pAUL –Â
AOAP Volunteer of the Month is a recurring AOAP feature shedding light on an amazing AOAP Volunteer. As with any item of recognition, the volunteer of the month is a subjective exercise meant to highlight one aquatic professional whose volunterism with AOAP holds noteworthy context. (they must be a member of AOAP that has volunteered to be on a variety of AOAP Committees throughout the years or during the conference).
