Board

APA Colorado Board

APA Colorado is served by an Executive Board consisting of Officers, Area Representatives, and specially appointed positions. The Board is responsible for creating and overseeing the implementation of the overall strategic mission of the organization through activities such as adopting an annual budget, setting chapter policies, and reviewing APA programs. The Board generally meets on the first Friday of every month, and board meetings are open to all members to attend.

The officers of the Board are elected at-large by the membership to two-year terms in staggering years.

The officers include:

  • President,
  • President Elect,
  • Past President,
  • Vice President of External Affairs,
  • Vice President of Communications, and
  • Treasurer.

There are also seven (7) Area Representatives elected by the members within six (6) geographic regions across the state. The Denver Metro Area is served by two representatives since it is where the largest concentration of planners is geographically located.

The chair of the Legislative Committee and the Professional Development Committee also serve on the Board along with appointed, voting and non-voting members representing The Western Planner, Planning Faculty, University of Colorado-Denver’s APA Student group, and the Public Officials representative.
