Tyler J. Wilson has been named the new president of the American Association for Homecare (AAHomecare), filling a position open since February, when Kay Cox stepped down.

Wilson joins AAHomecare from the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association, where he served as executive director since 2000. Wilson also managed the membership division and government affairs department for the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) for six years, and has worked as an attorney for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and for a law firm specializing in government relations and litigation while he was based in Washington, D.C.

“I look forward to leading AAHomecare and its members as the industry tackles critical issues, with one voice, for home care,” Wilson says.

Tom Ryan, AAHomecare chairman, says, “We are pleased to bring such a veteran of the Washington association world onboard. With his trade experience in trade associations, legal background and knowledge of DMEPOS, Tyler was the unanimous choice. The home-care community is facing major challenges, and we are confident that Tyler is the right choice at the right time for AAHomecare.”
