In recent years, there has been increased involvement and activism among APA members. This engagement has occurred both on campus at local APA convenings as well as participating at trainings sponsored by our state and national affiliate unions, the Michigan Education Association and National Education Association respectively.
In several instances, APA members and leaders have been asked or chose to submit topic proposals to present peer training sessions. To bring conformity to the process, the APA Executive Board adopted a Conference Proposal Submission Protocol. This new APA protocol is intended only to apply to proposals submitted for conferences and trainings hosted by our state and national affiliate unions, as well as other professional development gatherings where the work and advocacy of the APA is the foundation to attend.
APA members interested in presenting at union conferences to train fellow union sisters and brothers should first review the protocol which can be found here:
