ACPA Innovation Team Application

ACPA is the leading comprehensive student affairs association that advances student affairs and engages students for a lifetime of learning and discovery. ACPA has always been a leader in higher education. To continue our ability to be adaptive, creative and resilient, ACPA created the Innovation Advocate position and provided a funding source for Innovation Grants. ACPA Innovation Grants are intended to encourage innovations throughout the Association through the exploration of new and innovative approaches to our current practices. To implement these grants, ACPA is establishing the Innovation Grants Team. Members of the Innovation Grants Team will review grant applications that suggest an innovative approach to Association work and will make annual funding allocations based on articulated criteria.

Innovation Grants Team members are needed to serve a 12 month term (Note: the first team of innovation team members will include 50% of the representatives on 24 month terms and 50% on 12 month terms to ensure a rolling membership and continuity). Team members should be representative of the following ACPA entity groups:
