NCAPSE and  SCAPSE, our sister chapter in South Carolina, are joining forces to provide their first joint conference.  Low conference registration rates, and incredibly low room rates make this conference truly affordable. Add to that our national speakers, the Myrtle Beach location and three action packed days of networking - this is the conference that has something for every one interested in employment for people with disabilities!

New Board Nomination Season Ends on June 20, 2009.

 

It is time to submit nominations for the 2009-2010 election of the NCAPSE board. Last year NCAPSE initiated a green policy and transferred most of its communication by US Mail to WEB site notices and E-Mail Blasts.  Therefore we will not be mailing out any nomination forms to our membership.

 

Nominations for board positions are available on our WEB site, and may be sent to NCAPSE year round however to run for the upcoming 2009-2010 election you must have your nomination form turned in to us by June 20, 2009. More detailed information and the nomination form are available on our board members page, and the nomination form can be found here as well. (Nominations that come after that date will be considered for the 2010-2011-election season.) This year we have several board members whose three year terms expire who will have to run as incumbents if they decide to serve on the board for another term.

 

 We encourage any member in good standing to consider running for office. NCAPSE is committed to representing every stakeholder group that impacts our mission including individuals with disabilities, family members, the business community, and managers and employment specialists who provide direct services and supported employment. We strongly encourage employment specialists and job coaches to self-nominate for this election as we are under-represented in the job coach/employment specialist stakeholder group.  Just remember send in your nomination form by June 20, 2009.
