This document discusses the potential benefits of communities of practice for AADE's Special Practice Groups (SPGs) and chapters. Communities of practice are groups of people who share a common interest and learn from each other. They can increase productivity, communication, knowledge sharing, and leadership development within an organization. The document suggests that communities of practice could help AADE's SPGs and chapters by facilitating collaboration, developing best practices, reducing learning curves for members, and advancing the organization's strategic goals. However, barriers like geography, leadership, time constraints, and ensuring participation from all relevant groups would need to be addressed.
