APA documents for the meeting can be found at the bottom of this page:


Treasurer Report
-Revenues are down from 2012 in 2013.  
-Over $100K has been paid back to ALA for the creation of APA. About $170K in the loan remains.

There was discussion about how APA can be put more directly under ALA.

Certification Program - CPLA (Certified Public Library Administrator)
There have been 240 enrolled since the program began.  112 are currently taking certification courses.  There are 75 graduates from the certification program.

Certification Program - LSSC (Library Support Staff Certification)
448 enrolled.  373 active candidates.  75 certified library support staff.

There is a call for state organizations to recognize the APA certifications as the state certification, so that people can have certification and move from state-to-state with recognized certification.  APA is in a position to be a record-keeping organization for certification.
