    Registration Deadline Nears for 
    APA National Conference 
 
    by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Presbyterian office staff members wishing to attend the 
22nd annual national  conference of the Administrative Personnel 
Association have until April 15 to register. 
 
    The APA Conference will be held May 15-17 at the Sheraton Harbor Place 
Hotel in Fort Myers, Fla.  According to APA officer Teri Bauer, conference 
planners expect 125 participants, which, she said, will make it "one of our 
largest gatherings ever." 
 
    The APA's goal is "to improve the quality of professionalism in 
church-related offices, which are usually the first points of contact with 
congregations, governing bodies and agencies of the Presbyterian Church 
(U.S.A.)." 
 
    In addition to the national conference, regional conferences are held 
during the year to provide continuing education and certification 
opportunities to Presbyterian office workers. 
 
    The 1998 conference will offer a major seminar on "Technology in the 
Office."  Other workshops will address church history, office 
administration, disaster and crisis preparedness, and parliamentary 
procedure. 
 
    Level I and Level II APA certification credits will be offered for all 
seminars. 
 
    At a concluding banquet on May 16, certification awards will be 
presented to those who have completed their requirements for APA 
certification. 
 
    Some scholarship assistance is available.  For information about it, 
call Susie Zych at (360) 491-7770.  More information about the conference 
is available by calling Dot Bass, APA national office manager, at (919) 
787-2055.
