ACPA20 will amplify our association values into meaningful calls to action and provide pathways for the dissemination of timely and relevant information for our field. As an intentional space for deep engagement, reflection, and story sharing, the 96th Annual Convention will frame strong linkages and connection points for our work within the global context of higher education.
ACPA20 is also committed to a convention experience that crystalizes our intention surrounding the strategic imperative on racial justice and decolonization for daily practice in as well as celebrates the vibrant and diverse individuals who chose ACPA every day. The experience will continue to weave the thread of the association’s past, present, and future with the journey of building a focused Association.
