APPA Sustainability Statement

In July 2008, the APPA Board of Directors approved the following statement regarding sustainability and environmental stewardship.

APPA is committed to supporting its members’ ability to create and maintain sustainable campus environments.

APPA does this by:

• Facilitating an open exchange of information, knowledge, and experiences regarding sustainability within education facility practices;
• Connecting members to the best available expertise, resources, and information on sustainability;
• Engaging in alliances and collaborative efforts on behalf of its members to continuously improve the ability of educational institutions to achieve a clean and sustainable learning environment;
• Encouraging school, college, and university leaders to embrace sustainability as a core campus value; and
• Employing documented sustainable practices in the conduct of APPA business.

Elected Officer Nominations & Elections - 2018

Consider being a candidate for an elected office in APPA-Leadership in Educational Facilities. Your future contribution to APPA will be an invaluable benefit for our members and ensures that APPA is the association of choice for educational facilities professionals. As an elected officer, not only do you give back to the association and the facilities profession it serves, you will gain enormous leadership skills and develop yourself professionally in numerous meaningful ways.

A strong and steady leadership is essential for an association to remain vital and relevant. Engaged, committed members are essential to guide APPA and the facilities profession toward a bright and productive future. Committed volunteer leadership and service, coupled with a dedicated professional staff, ensures a vibrant future for APPA.

We are opening up the governance structure and process to increase communication and understanding of the service and time commitment. The perception is that serving APPA as an elected officer takes too much time away from the office. It does require a personal commitment of time and energy. However, past elected officers will tell you that the personal rewards and professional benefits outweigh the costs of engagement and the time expended.

There are five (5) elected officer leadership positions on the APPA Board of Directors. Consider nominating yourself or others for the one that best matches your passion and areas of expertise. All applications for election are due no later than December 8, 2017.
