Committees

Committees are where the action happens; where decisions are made that affect all APSA members, currently over 800 strong. All committee members are volunteers from within the APSA membership and work to provide leadership, governance and management for our non-profit organization.

APSA Committees

Executive Committee

The Board of Directors serves members by providing leadership and direction to APSA staff and APSA committees. Board members are elected by the APSA members for a one year term (President and Vice President) or a two year term (Area Directors).

Advocacy Committee

The Advocacy Committee assists and advises APSA members on their rights and entitlements (according to the AD 10 Policies) and with work-related problems. The Committee also provides representation in the form of observers and advisors in disputes with the University, educates APSA members with regard to SFU policies, deals with grievances and consults with legal counsel when necessary.

Nominating & Association Development Committee

NADC identifies and recruits potential members for all of APSA’s committees, including the Executive and for various representative positions on University committees. The Committee also oversees and assists in APSA election and selection procedures.

Pension Advisory Committee

Working with other employee group pension committees and the University, this Committee develops recommendations to change the Pension Plan text and/or its administration, as required. They also provide pension information to the Executive Committee and develop educational material for members about their plan.

Salary & Benefits Committee

This Committee advises the Executive Committee on matters related to APSA members' total compensation package. They prepare initial positions for compensation negotiations with the University and make recommendations to the Executive regarding the creation of negotiating teams.

University Affairs Committee

Working closely with the Advocacy and the Joint University Association Committee (JUAC), UAC ensures the AD 10 Policies are kept current, reviews grievances and issues brought forward by members.
