APCCA Fund Administrator and the Finance Committee

The APCCA Fund Administrator manages the APCCA Fund and prepares the annual financial report. There is a Finance Committee whose membership consists of the APCCA Fund Administrator, the current conference host, the two immediate prior hosts, and the two immediate future hosts. The management of the APCCA Fund and the appointments of the APCCA Fund Administrator and the Finance Committee are set out in the APCCA Joint Declaration.

APCCA Rapporteurs

Rapporteurs are appointed based on the nomination of the Governing Board and endorsement by APCCA members. Rapporteurs serve the APCCA in roles set out by the Joint Declaration and do so for a fixed term of three years, which upon expiry may be extended once for a period of two years. A Rapporteur's duties would be to prepare the Discussion Guide and compile the report for each annual conference and to serve as the secretary to the Governing Board meetings.

 

Emeritus Professor Neil Morgan, who has been a Rapporteur for APCCA since 1997 and Ms Irene Morgan, who has been serving APCCA since 2000, have served together as Rapporteurs since 2003.
