About the Student Representatives Council

The SRC is made up of one elected Student Representative from each APA-recognized Planning Student Organization (PSO), an elected representative from each of the six APA regions, the Immediate Past Chair, and the Chair. The SRC provides a means to have students' interests represented within APA and promote student participation in the organization.

SRC Regional Representatives
Being an SRC Regional Representative is rewarding — and FUN! You’ll get to know other planning students from around the country, participate in APA Leadership activities twice a year, and further develop your skills as a leader and volunteer.

In return (there's always a flip side), you should realize how important your position is in keeping APA tuned in to the needs of its Student Members as well as planning students in general.

Regional Representatives are chosen by students from their regions during the APA SRC Annual Meeting and Exchange at each APA National Planning Conference.
