Dear Members,

Greetings! It is with great enthusiasm that I pen my first words to you as your new Chief Executive Officer. Having just returned from the 2017 Symposium in my hometown of Buffalo, NY, joining NCCAP is in many ways both a personal and professional homecoming. Having worked across healthcare sectors domestic and globally I am excited to apply my unique mix of legal, management and external relations functions to advance the mission of NCCAP.

You have my commitment that NCCAP will be revitalized with Good Governance and Best Practices to ensure the highest quality of education and certification for Activity Professionals. You, as members, possess the subject matter expertise necessary to lead and influence the mosaic that is the Activity Profession. My initial task is to listen to you, the Board and our partners to understand the needs and opportunities for growth. The objective is to re-assert NCCAP as the recognized leader in providing best-in-class educational content and certification for quality of care and quality of life. Please feel free to reach out to share your thoughts, concerns and suggestions with me. I look forward to serving you and our overall profession.

With kind regards,

Peter J. Illig, Esq. Chief Executive Officer Email: peter.illig@nccap.org
