Implementation Workgroup Election Results

After two weeks, the polls closed on August 25^th for the election of ACPE’s representatives to the Implementation Workgroup. I am grateful to 654 members who took the time to consider the ballot and vote. Out of 1714 eligible voters, we achieved about a 38% participation rate which is consistent with our voter turnout the last couple of elections.

I also want to thank the 23 candidates who volunteered to run in the election. Thank you for answering the call to serve at this critical intersection in our association’s history. Because of you, ACPE had one of its most experienced and diverse pool of candidates. Regardless of the outcome of the election, I knew ACPE would be led by an adept team of representatives in our discussions with APC.

The eight representatives elected by ACPE’s membership are

ACPE’s representatives will meet with APC’s team in the coming weeks. The Implementation Workgroup will be divided into four sub-committees:

• Governance and Organizational Design: bylaws, board and community governance, articles of incorporation, corporate structure, CEO selection process
• Finance: finances, fiscal year, and principles for crafting dues structure
• Facilities and branding: locations, facilities, and branding/naming process
• Organizational Culture: cultural integration and meeting models

Throughout the workgroup’s process, they will gather input from the members via study documents and town halls. Currently, we expect the members will vote on the final proposal in the spring of 2022.
