Leadership Opportunities - Get Involved! |
Our Association is only as good as the officers who lead us, so we ask that you consider joining the leadership team, and/or nominating your colleagues who are qualified and interested in helping CAHPERD grow and prosper.
As we move through Phase II of organizational restructuring, we are especially looking to identify those who are interested in serving as Chairs of various Councils (formerly known as Divisions & Sections). The interest areas include, but are not limited to: Physical Education, Health Education, Recreation, Dance, Interscholastic Athletics, Higher Education, Diversity & Social Justice, Future Professionals, Leadership & Administration and Retired Members. I truly hope that you will consider candidacy for one of these, or any of the other positions available within the CAHPERD organization.
