Green Apple has several committees that members can join.  These subcommittees help members fine-tune their skills and add additional competitive skills to their resumes.

Members may join committees based on their interests. The frequency of activities (such as committee meetings and training) depends on the individual committee.

Highlighted Committees:

• Visiting Committee
• Conference Committee
  

Validators serve on the Visitation Committee.  The committee members evaluate providers at their site visit inspection. The accreditation site visit is essential for ensuring that exemplary standards are being met. These members must be approved by the Green Apple Directors, trained, and must also show excellence in their practice.

Conference Committee members help to plan the largest Green Apple Professional Development event of the year.  They qualify speakers, monitor the details for the ultimate member experience, and celebrate our providers’ success. Great committee members are detail-oriented and enthusiastic about the work of their industry!

Green Apple hosts annual conferences for providers that focus on the following areas:

• Early Childhood Education
• Behavioral Health
• Enrichment & Afterschool Programs
• Faith-Based & Religious Exempt Education
• Private K-12 Education

Both new and experienced providers are welcome!

Attendees network, share best practices, learn from relevant and timely industry-related topics, and improve their services.

Annual Conferences are open to members and non-members.

Keynotes and Guest Speakers lead sessions and facilitate training.
