EXECUTIVE BOARD
CA PA|PG|PC’s Executive Board guides the association in its mission to serve our members in California’s 58 counties. The Board is composed of 9 annually elected officers, with two seated past presidents to provide historical information to assist new leadership. A full outline of Officer roles and Board Committees can be found in the Association’s Bylaws.
Members interested in serving on the Board can download our Members in Action: Board Membership (coming soon) to learn about the Board, commitment required and next steps to get involved.
