APAC Mission Statement
Mission The Association of Professional Advisers
and Counselors (APAC) is a community-driven
organization for advisers and counselors at the
University of Washington. We support the
engagement and development of the advising
community by offering opportunities for
networking, recognition of exceptional
performance, connection to professional
resources, and sharing of best practices related
to advising and counseling at the
University.   Goals Enhance communication and
exchange of professional information among
advisers and counselors. Collaborate with other
advising and counseling organizations, both in
and out of the UW, to provide professional
development opportunities.   Values The services
performed by professional advisers and counselors
are an integral part of the mission of the
University of Washington. A strong community is a
necessary part of training, developing, and
retaining the best professional advisers and
counselors. APAC is guided by the input and
leadership of its members.   Structure APAC is
organized independently of the University
administrative structure. Membership in APAC is
open to all University of Washington Advisers and
Counselors. APAC is led by an executive board
chosen by the entire membership. Board members
rotate.
