The ATPE Board of Directors—a group of 25 volunteers that includes the five state officers and a director from each ATPE region—meets quarterly in Austin to govern policy and procedure issues and guide the executive director, who employs and manages ATPE staff to carry out the association’s mission.

Following each board meeting, the ATPE state president recaps the meeting for members so you can stay up to date on the latest decisions made by the board and other ATPE happenings. 2021-22 ATPE State President Karen Hames has chosen to present her recaps through a podcast, so we are proud to introduce The President’s Podcast.
