This article focuses on the American Personnel and Guidance Association (APGA). The association year 197 1-72 marked a period of significant change for APGA. New professional programs were instituted that signaled a revitalization of member interest in the affairs of the association, and the association found a new chief executive who is expected to redirect headquarters staff energies toward a five-year goal of planned growth in professional services for the association's nearly 28,500 members. The APGA Board of Directors, during that December meeting, appointed Patrick J. McDonough, Assistant Executive Director for Professional Affairs, to fill the chief executive post oil an interim basis until such time as a new executive director was named. A search committee was also formed, under the chairmanship of then-APGA President Garry R. Walz, to determine from among a number of candidates who would best measure up to the demands of the office. The recommendation of the search committee was approved by the APGA Board of Directors on June 2, 1972. |
