Board of Directors & Executive Committee

The APA-IL is governed by a Board of Directors elected from the general membership. The Board is composed of 7 members plus the Section Directors. The Executive Committee consists of the Board of Directors plus the chairpersons of each standing committee of the Chapter, and one faculty and one student representative from each Illinois Planning Accreditation Board (PAB) accredited university. The Executive Committee serves as an advisory committee to the Board of Directors.

The APA-IL Bylaws were updated in 2020.
