Membership Selection Process
The membership application process for the non-ACPS member core member spots and participatory subcommittee spots opened on Friday, April 22, 2022 and closed on Monday, May 2, 2022. The Office of Community Partnerships and Engagement received 58 applications during this time period. Scoring of applicants by the Family and Community Engagement Center (FACE) (based on a rubric) occurred and final membership selections were made. The scoring rubric was based on the answers submitted by applicants in response to the application form, to include aligned experience, stakeholder classification and any additional information provided.
