Committees and Subcommittees

Interested in Participating?

APTA Committees and Subcommittees are now part of APTAconnect, APTA’s members-only, secure online community space specifically designed to connect you to your peers, colleagues, and friends.

Our online communities are aligned with APTA’s highly valued committees. If you’re a member of a committee, you’re automatically a member of its corresponding online community.

Committee membership is open to all employees of APTA members in good standing, and participation in one or more committees/subcommittees is encouraged and welcomed.  For more information on becoming an APTA member, visit our Join APTA page.

Except for those committees listed as “by appointment only,” you may join a committee or subcommittee by using the Join a Committee page (you must be logged in to access the page).
