Executive Committee
The Executive Committee consists of the current president, the immediate past president, the president-elect, a secretary, and a treasurer. This committee oversees all actions of the association. Particularly, this committee is responsible for ensuring that the actions of the association are in line with the overall goals and strategic plan for UAPA. Therefore, the Executive Committee often serves as a filter for any action needing approval that may come before the Board.

Board Members
UAPA’s Board of Directors consists of executives and owners from eleven members in good standing with the association. The Board draws from all levels of membership in UAPA to create a voting bloc that gives each member of the Board exactly one vote. The Board of Directors gives final approval to any official action taken by the association. This includes fiduciary as well as non-fiduciary responsibilities. Through the use of UAPA’s Industry Improvement Agenda, and the association’s strategic plan all proposed actions, works in progress, or completed projects are brought before the Board through the chairs of UAPA’s working committees along with the recommendation from the Executive Committee. Motions are made, votes taken, and necessary follow-up to UAPA’s working committees is then given at each of these meetings.
