The APA is now the Professional Staff Association of Western (PSAW)

In May 2024, the membership of the Administrative Professional Association approved a constitutional amendment to change our name to the Professional Staff Association of Western (PSAW). Our new name brings clarity of purpose for new members and reflects our organization's direction and strategic focus. We are currently updating our website and documentation to reflect this change. Please contact any executive board member for more information.
