ACPA and NASPA: Exploring a Common Voice
Subcommittee Information (as of April, 2010)
The eight subcommittees include: Governance Bylaws and Structure, Social Identities Groups (currently Knowledge Communities/Standing Committees), Functional Areas (currently KC/Commissions/Divisions), Membership Structure, Conferences/Conventions, Geographical Organization, Placement Services, and Publications/Scholarship. Members representing both ACPA and NASPA have been appointed to each sub-committee and co-chairs have been designated (one co-chair from each association). Each subcommittee was given a specific charge to investigate and make recommendations.
This downloadable document shares general information about the process and the work of the subcommittees. The work will be completed by July 2010. Members are invited to share comments, suggestions, and perceptions with the co-chairs of the sub-committees. While all comments will be read, and may be shared with the entire sub-committee, submissions will not be responded to so as to allow the persons working on the sub-committees time to concentrate on their formative work.
If you have questions about the work of the sub-committees or the process being followed to consider consolidation, please contact the incoming presidents of both associations:
Elizabeth Griego for NASPA or
Susan Salvador for ACPA.
