APIC DFW

📍 📍 APIC DFW Meet-Up!

Join us at Assembly Food Hall (5055 Broadway) between 4:30–7:30 PM for a casual chapter gathering.

💙 Look for us near Dolly! 💙

Come and go as your schedule allows, but be sure to stop by, say hello, and connect with fellow APIC DFW members while we’re in Nashville!

It’s Chapter Appreciation Day! 💜

If you’re headed to the Opening General Session, come sit with APIC DFW! Look for our posters in the Chapter Members seating area near the front of the room.

One of the best parts of APIC is connecting with colleagues from home, so we’d love to see you there.

🏆✨ We did it, APIC DFW! ✨🏆

APIC DFW has been recognized with the 2026 APIC Chapter Excellence Award – Large Chapter, and this honor reflects the incredible people who make our chapter thrive. 💜

From board members and volunteers to first-time attendees and long-time members, every person who has shared knowledge, mentored a colleague, presented a session, or simply shown up has helped make this possible.

Infection prevention is challenging work, and having a strong professional community matters. 🤝

Thank you for helping create a chapter where we learn, connect, grow, and support one another. 🌟

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together—and we’re just getting started! 🚀

🏆⭐️Congratulations, Kimberly Sutton! 🫶🏻

APIC DFW is proud to celebrate Kimberly Sutton, MPH, MBA, MLS(ASCP)SM, CIC, recipient of the 2026 APIC Chapter Leader Award.

Kimberly's leadership, dedication, and heart for this profession have made a lasting impact on our chapter. She is the kind of leader who quietly gets things done, supports others, and helps move all of us forward.

On a personal note, I am incredibly grateful for Kimberly. APIC DFW is better because of her leadership, and I feel lucky to not only serve alongside her, but to call her my friend.

Please join me in congratulating Kimberly on this well-deserved recognition. 🎉👏
