Serve Your Industry — Join a Council!

APSP Councils have the responsibility of representing the interests of the members of their business segment and offering marketing, technical, and management support to the national staff. Councils have representation on the APSP Board of Directors and make recommendations on how best to advance the business, image, and welfare of APSP members collectively. Council meetings are normally held at least annually and up to several times a year.

Ask for a Willingness to Serve form and other background information about the Council (roster, charter, and recent meeting minutes). The staff liaison can also respond to questions you might have about seat availability and the election process.

Summer is a good time to submit your completed Willingness to Serve form because Councils generally elect new members in the fall. Send your completed Willingness to Serve form to the staff liaison as soon as possible. Click here to find out more.
