Additional Benefits
Volunteer to Give a Little Free Advice
No, APA cannot get enough free advice. We are dependent on members like you volunteering your time to advise us on critical issues. If you have an interest in Legislative Issues, Public Affairs or Membership growth, this is your chance to shine while serving your profession. If you have wanted to become more involved in your professional association, but have been reluctant due to time constraints, this is the perfect opportunity for you. Every effort will be made to minimize the time required to be involved. For example, the majority (if not all) of the committee meetings will be held via conference call and E-mail will be utilized for most communications. The APA Constitution and Bylaws specify that Standing Committees shall meet a minimum of four times per year. Most committee meetings last less than thirty minutes.
If you are interested in getting involved, please click the link below and send the form in to the APA office. Simply mark the committee(s) on which you would like to participate and fax to (334) 271-5423. There is no limit on the number of committees on which any one member may serve so please feel free to choose as many as interest you. Please contact Louise Jones at (334) 271-4222 with any questions.
