Executive Director's Note

Registration for the Spring 2016 conference in Asheville has begun, and we’re expecting record numbers of professionals and great speakers.
Under the direction of APNC President Tony Beatty, the new APNC board is conducting our annual planning retreat Feb. 26th-27th. Tony has also appointed leadership to our student scholarship committee and nominations committee, and you can read more about that in this issue.
We need your input on legislative issues that you think APNC needs to push during the 2016 legislative short session beginning in April. If you have issues you’d like APNC to work on, please email them to us at

Thanks again for all your hard work already this year! We’ve got some exciting plans in the works, and I’m looking forward to a stellar 2016!

New Board Roles proposed
Last year, the APNC membership approved changes to our by-laws that created two additional regions (North West and South East) and decreased the number of At-Large positions by two. To oversee those new regions, President Tony Beatty is nominating William Faulkner, one of our at-large board members, to serve as North West region Vice-President, and Karen Chapple, another At-Large member, to serve as South East region Vice-President. The Board will vote on these nominations at its February 26-27th Board Retreat.
