ACPE NETWORKS
Although ACPE Networks are not a part of the central governance structure of ACPE, they have come to play a vital role in enhancing the scope of the organization. Networks do not speak for ACPE, Inc., nor are opinions expressed by the networks necessarily the opinion or policy of ACPE, Inc. Networks have no voting rights in ACPE, Inc. Individual members of networks who are members of ACPE have voting rights as determined by their membership category in the ACPE By-Laws. Each network pays an annual membership fee. The following are Networks which have currently been accepted by the ACPE Board of Representatives for membership.
