CCAPS Committee Announcements: “Please come join us!”

 

CCAPS Committees welcome the participation of all CCAPS members.  Committee participation is rewarding when you sense the achievement of your committee’s tasks, but it is especially fulfilling in the development of new connections with colleagues across the nation. If you have the time and interest, your assistance on one or more committees would be greatly appreciated.

 

Please see the list below for brief descriptions of how you could in all committees and the  contact information of committee chairs.  As you will notice, most committees have some work that occurs throughout the year and some that happens at the ACPA Convention.  Participation in committee work does not require convention attendance.

 

CCAPS Committees are chaired by directorate members, who can provide continuity in their leadership of the committees. Please contact the chairs to learn about specific opportunities for involvement. Also feel free to contact Chanda Corbett, CCAPS Chair, for more information about involvement.
