Other representatives from APSE, including the APSE Executive Director, may attend ESPCC meetings from time to time as needed to facilitate discussion and communication. Individuals who are not members of the ESPCC and who are directly involved in the development of training courses and/or materials or in the presentation of educational offerings may not participate in or observe exam development activities (including item writing and item review) that would result in knowledge of the examination content that is not publicly available. These individuals will not attend any Council meetings, or participate in any discussions, that involve exam content or other confidential certification information.

Terms

ESPCC members are selected for 3 year terms. Terms of Council members will be staggered so that approximately one third of the terms are scheduled to end each year. 

Terms will begin on the first day of the annual National APSE conference.
