SPA is a grassroots organization that welcomes its membership to participate in the planning of several major activities during the academic year including the spring conference, campus forums, the fall reception, and the awards banquet. Additional events are also planned by the SPA Executive Board, in partnership with the membership. (See our Activities & Committees section for information about all of our events.) Members may also become more involved in SPA by running for a seat on the executive board. A number of positions are available each year for one or two year terms and draw on different interests and skills. Elections are held in April. (See our Executive Board page for more information about board positions.)
