In today’s challenging and constantly changing environment an institution’s success depends on everyone, regardless of their position in the organizational chart. Learn more about APPA’s dynamic Leadership Academy, designed to bring out the leadership potential in each individual.

The Certified Educational Facilities Professional (CEFP) designation denotes the highest level of educational facilities mastery, elevating the credibility of the individual who holds the certification and the institution their certified professional represents.

Facility challenges continue to increase — in both number and substance. Senior facility officers desire an opportunity to network and discuss challenges and issues with peers. Your issues are high-level, long-term, often abstract, and require innovative and creative solutions.
