The Call to Care for PeopleSep 2, 2024
Happy Labor Day, Colleagues. I hope that each of you are taking some time for yourselves and your families. The “Call to Care for People” can become all-consuming, and we often neglect ourselves and those we love while “serving” others. During this last summer holiday, I hope you intentionally enjoy the moments. As with all tragedies, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted our lives at an inconvenient time for our Association. Many of us were wrestling to acclimate to several changes throughout the organization, and the addition of our psychotherapist colleagues was of great significance.

Accreditation and Student Unit Fee IncreasesAug 26, 2024
Dear ACPE Community, During our spring meeting, the ACPE Finance Committee carefully examined the need to increase membership dues and program fees. The committee deemed it imperative to the organization's health and vitality to consider changes to meet programmatic and administrative needs as ACPE looks to increase member services and continue support for our programs and members. Notably, accreditation fees have remained unchanged since 2020, and individual memberships have remained unchanged for over 20 years. Given this long-standing stability in our fee structure, the Finance Committee has emphasized the necessity of some fee increases to address the impact of inflation and the need to grow our membership services resources.
