The retreat will serve as a starting point for the council to review its purpose and set goals for the 2016-17 academic year. Highlights will include:
– Address by President Kirk Schulz
– Team building exercise
– Committee goals/priorities for the year
Those to be inaugurated include:

John Sullivan and Amanda Sperry will begin three-year terms on the council. Sue Shipman will finish a vacated one-year term and Stephanie Rink, Tony Broyles and Sue Gilchrist will begin one-year alternate terms.
APAC’s purpose is “to provide institutional advocacy for WSU administrative professional employees and to disseminate information and provide opportunities for professional development and recognition for APs,” said Acuña-Luna.
