Frequently Asked Questions:
What exactly does it mean to be a part of the MN APT Board? Board members meet together roughly six times per year to plan things like our annual conference, budget, community engagement, and member outreach. Most meetings are virtual and two times per year we come together in person for a longer meeting (which usually involves snacks and lunch!). The MN APT Board coordinates on tasks via email between meetings.
Do I need to live in the Twin Cities to serve on the MN APT Board? Definitely not! Our members come from all over Minnesota and the majority of meetings are virtual to accommodate board members who aren't in Twin Cities area.
What are the benefits of serving on the MN APT Board? There are tons of benefits to serving on the MN APT Board! Being on the board means you have excellent opportunities to network with other Play Therapists in Minnesota, plan what speakers are most needed for the Minnesota Play Therapy Community, and you get to give back to other play therapists in Minnesota!
If I'm elected how long will I be on the board? With the new bylaws in 2024 board terms are three years. Board members can serve up to two consecutive terms. This means over the course of several years the MNAPT board will have lots of voices and input from the MNAPT community!
