Councils and Committees

Councils are decision-making bodies of the Register that report to the Board. The Board shall maintain the Grievance Council and Registration Council.

The President may designate and appoint Standing Committees of the Board and Chairs of such committees, subject to the approval of the Board. The other members of the Committees shall be selected and maintained as prescribed by the specific Committee Procedures sections of the Register Procedures, which shall require Board approval prior to implementation. Current Standing Committees are Ethics, Nominating, Outreach, and Professional Development.

If you are interested in joining a Council or Committee, contact the Register President at president@rpanet.org or the Nominating Committee Chair at nominations@rpanet.org.

All volunteers participating in Register positions must download and sign the Register Volunteer Agreement form, then email it to the Executive Director at executivedirector@rpanet.org

For all other inquiries or communication with committee chairs, please reach out to the Executive Director.
