Associate Program Directors
Associate Program Directors will find many resources on www.APPD.org to help you in your day-to-day job, program development, and personal career growth.
If you are new to the APPD, or to the role of Associate Program Director, then click on some of the resources below, or in the links above by category. The following link includes details in the Program Director Handbook:www.appd.org/handbooks.html. For face-to-face information and networking, the Fall APPD meeting is especially geared for new directors, new associate directors, new fellowship directors and new coordinators. Additional information is found in the FAQ page.
If you are interested in APPD leadership opportunities, one good first step may begin with involvement in a Task Force or Regional activity. There is also one APPD Board position reserved for and representing Associate Program Directors, a role currently held by Lynn Garfunkel. Current facilitators of the Grassroots Forum for Associate Program Directors (also called the APD Special Interest Group "SIG") are Aditee Narayan, Marsha Anderson ,Jerry Larrabee, and Heather McPhillips.
To stay connected to Program Directors and other Associate Program Directors and share in group resources, use the Discussion Board, the APD listserv for connecting with other APDs, and other site resources to build connections. Annual Meetings are a great time to come together and learn from each other and work with many different members.
