CARES: APP's Strategy Framework
APP's strategic plan keeps our focus on our mission while creating APP's "next stage" of impact.
APP's board recently reaffirmed our commitment to our existing mission:
The Association of Payment Professionals and its member organizations are committed to safeguarding the integrity of the payment ecosystem through ongoing education, collaboration and leadership.
After a year of review, revision, and strategizing, APP's Board developed CARES as a framework for prioritizing and aligning decisions with our mission. In 2026, this strategic framework was completed, putting in place a series of goals, guideposts, and initiatives to help APP in the next four years.
