Q: Can I nominate someone I know would be a terrific candidate for these offices?   

A: Because of the narrow window of time to staff the leadership positions for the new structure, we are asking for potential leaders to complete and submit the applications.  Help the Nominating Committee by reaching out to those folks and inviting them to complete an application.  Let them know you are willing to serve as a reference for them.

How do these pieces of APCE’s new structure fit together?

APCE has been working for a number of years, through its Strategic Planning Task Force, to consider how to best meet future opportunities and challenges, while remaining faithful to its Mission, Vision, and Values.  In June of 2024, the Coordinating Council approved a new Strategic Plan.  On October 15, 2024, in a meeting of the Corporation, APCE’s membership approved new Bylaws, which put a new organizational structure in place.  If you would like to know more about the Strategic Plan, follow the link below.
