PA Division Speakers' Bureau Now Forming!
Calling all members of the PA Division! Are you or someone that you know interested in presenting at a chapter meeting, a workshop, an APW event, etc.? Would you like to visit other chapters and share your knowledge with them? If so, we’re looking for you to join the Speakers’ Bureau!
We all know that educational programs are provided at levels of IAAP. Just about every chapter in our Division holds an educational program at their monthly meeting. Why not make some of this great information available across the state?
Here’s what we’re looking for:
Here’s what we don’t want:
It is important to keep in mind that our educational programs are often taken back to the workplaces and shared with co-workers. They are also shared among chapters and each other. Our educational programs should fit in with our Division’s mission and be career-oriented.
Like all other non-profit organizations, contracted speakers must fit within a chapter’s or the Division’s budgetary constraints. There are times when a chapter does not have funding available for speakers as well. Speakers that present for “no fee” would have their travel expenses paid for by the chapter or Division hosting the event.
Interested? Complete the application and submit to Diana Comber, PA Division Vice President via fax at 484-362-0415 or e-mail at PADivisionIAAP@comcast.net. This form can be downloaded by clicking the link on the left side of this webpage.
A Certification Review Guide is available from IAAP. It contains the examination outline, bibliography, sample questions and other tips. The certification application packet can be downloaded at www.iaap-hq.org or contact IAAP Headquarters at: email - service@iaap-hq.org; voice - 816-891-6600.
The PA Division Certification Committee is available for questions or information regarding certification and recertification. Once you have achieved your certification, you are required to recertify every five years. More details on recertification can also be found at iaap-hq.org or contact the Certification Committee.
