"I have been a member of APCA for the past 16 years. During this time, the APCA staff has always been helpful and supportive of my program. They have provided a safe, affordable way for us (Student Activities Directors) to network with agents, share ideas between schools, and book performers. I am always impressed with their professionalism and creativity at the National Conferences year after year. They have never hesitated to help me when I have needed advice or had questions regarding programing or contractual issues. I would wholeheartedly recommend any school to join APCA."

"The level of engagement that happens at an APCA conference is something not to be missed. APCA has been such a rewarding experience for my student leaders and myself. I have been a member of APCA for about 10 years now, and they are constantly working hard to provide new ideas, programs and content that is specific and relevant to your students and your professional development. APCA offers the opportunity for your students to find great talent and affordable programming, gives you the ability to network with institutions in your region and nationally, and they truly make you feel a part of the APCA family.”

"I cannot describe how excited my students are every year for the APCA Conference. With the discounts that we get from the Co-op buying process, we are able to save enough money to pay for the entire conference experience. Beyond that, however, it’s great to be able to work with the other schools in our area in a synergistic way. My students have developed great relationships with their peers at other schools as a result of the experience.”

“APCA is a fantastic experience for any institution. Large, medium, and small schools can all benefit from what APCA has to offer. Through my years of attending their conferences I have enhanced my knowledge as a student affairs professional, further developed my student leaders, and saved thousands of university dollars through block booking with neighboring institutions. It’s an unbeatable opportunity.”
