Board Orientation Program Handbook

January 20, 2010

This Board Orientation program has been designed to familiarize incoming board members with their planning, governance, and stewardship responsibilities.  We have organized the materials in this handbook and the presentations throughout the afternoon on Friday, February 5th, to assist you in understanding your role as an international APPA board member and to increase your knowledge of APPA's organizational structure, delivery systems, programs, products, and services.

Although we recognize there is a great deal of material to cover in a short period of time, we want to emphasize that we are available to talk with each of you one-on-one at any time in the future.  Please review this on-line material via the following link, http://www.appa.org/board/HandbookContent.cfm in advance of our face-to-face meeting in Alexandria, Virginia and do not hesitate to ask any questions whatsoever.

We would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to participate in this board orientation program.
