APA National Student Representative Council

The Student Representatives Council’s Region I representative is Danielle Rovillo (rovillo@buffalo.edu)

Over the next year, the Studen Representatives Council’s Region I representative will work with the other five regional representatives and other leadership at the APA to explore and act on projects to benefit students. The representative will also be surveying APA student representatives and their classmates at other planning programs in Region I regarding ways to improve communication, resources, and activities provided by APA to students, including the annual National Conference.
