About Us
Get Involved with APPA
APPA continues to grow by virtue of the energy and passion its members bring to the organization and their institutions, as well as their dedication to the vital role of facilities in education. APPA is effective because its members are involved and engaged on every level, from serving on a local or regional planning committee, presenting a program, contributing to Facilities Manager magazine, conducting a research project through CFaR, publishing a book through APPA publications, or serving on the APPA board of directors.
To find out more about getting involved at any level, contact Tom Base, Director of Membership and Outreach at tom@appa.org or 703-684-1446 ext. 232.
