Opportunities

Get Involved In APCC

Sharing our knowledge, experiences, talents and skills is the key feature that makes APCC so good. Of course, in APCC—as in any organization—you can participate as much or as little as you want. But obviously, the organization is stronger and serves its members better when we all make a contribution. Some of the areas of opportunity are listed below.

You can help by: 

  • Compiling listserv responses to specific topics and organizing them for posting on our new web site. You’ll get credit for editing.
     
  • Listing the top ten benefits to clients in a specific profession when they contract with a communication consultant.
     
    • To volunteer, submit your list of benefits to Janet Cherry at JTCTRAINER@aol.com.
