The Chapter probably could use your help, and some chapters even have Student officers. Get involved in any way you can. Network with professional planners and get the satisfaction of contributing to the planning movement. Stay in touch Contact the Student Reps in your region regularly (monthly). Share any APA news – scholarships, mentoring programs, conference-related volunteer opportunities, and discounts on JAPA, conferences, membership, and a reduced dues category for graduating APA Student Members.

Encourage APA membership You represent APA every time you attend a meeting or planning event. Be prepared to answer questions about APA. (Visit the website regularly and read Interact, APA's monthly online newsletter.) It's a two-way street What's happening with you? Let your SRC Chair know what you're hearing in your region – about APA, planning, jobs, whatever. Contact staff with any questions about APA that you cannot answer.
