Happy AAP & APRP Day!

We had precisely 990 reasons to celebrate National AAP & APRP Recognition Day!

Last year, 62 EPCOR members passed the AAP exam and 39 passed the APRP exam bringing our grand totals to 949 Accredited ACH Professionals (AAPs) and 39 Accredited Payments Risk Professionals (APRPs)!

That’s a lot of reasons to celebrate! And, a U.S. flag flew like a proud owl over the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. to celebrate you and over 4,800 other AAPs and APRPs nationwide!

We are so proud of all of you!

P.S. September 17, 2019 will mark the first-ever National APRP Recognition Day and going forward AAPs will be celebrated on the second Tuesday of February (as in the past) and APRPs on the third Tuesday of September. We are looking forward to celebrating our APRPs twice this year!

It's Time to Celebrate!

Being an AAP and/or an APRP is a major accomplishment that should be celebrated! Here are some ideas on how you can show your AAPs and APRPs they are important to your flock: take your AAPs and APRPs to lunch or celebrate with an all-staff lunch, have staff sign a thank you card to present to your AAPs and APRPs, send a congratulatory email to your AAPs and APRPs or buy your AAPs and APRPs a cake and share it with the rest of your team. However you choose to celebrate, we know your staff AAPs and APRPs will appreciate the recognition!
