In a groundbreaking commitment to support licensure expansion, practice issue resolution and federal affairs, The American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants hired Mr. Jeremy Betts as the organization’s first Director of State Affairs. The engagement represents the completion of an 18-month strategic initiative by the AAAA Board to bring full-time advocacy to undergird state academy work throughout the country.
