Directors and Committee Leadership

The APT Board of Directors is composed of volunteers who serve as trustees, acting on behalf of the APT membership. As a group, APT Directors are responsible for the fulfillment of the organization's mission by developing and evaluating a strategic plan, overseeing execution of the plan, and providing oversight of the organization's activities.

Service on the APT Board of Directors provides opportunities to network with the leaders in the profession and develop lifelong professional and personal relationships. Board service provides a unique opportunity to engage and build relationships with the highest level of professionals in the field internationally.

APT Board members meet at least quarterly, lead committees, execute the Strategic Plan, and act as ambassadors for APT to serve our mission to promote the best technology to preserve historic structures and their settings.

Interesting in joining the board?  The 2025 Call for Nominations will be open in early summer 2025. If you would like to see what is involved to nominate yourself or to encourage a colleague to nominate themselves, please review the 2024 Call for Nominations. New board members begin their service following the Annual General Meeting that takes place during the annual conference (typically in October or November each year).
