Public Policy Advisory Group
The group provides an essential practitioner perspective on emerging legislation and public policy matters and serves as a practical resource to AACRAO’s Executive Director and Government Relations staff as they craft responses to proposed legislation
or regulation. Areas of expertise may include admissions, enrollment services, financial aid, access and equity, serving veterans and service members, community colleges, graduate and professional education, competency based education, credit for prior
learning, and others.
The Public Policy Advisory Group (PPAG) is composed of 12 members. Each member of PPAG serves a 3-year term; appointments are staggered, so each year, 4 individuals complete their term, and 4 new members are added. AACRAO members are selected based on their areas of expertise and type of institution and are representative of the regional, gender, and ethnic diversity of the association. After their term, individuals must be removed from the PPAG exchange and wait at least one year before re-applying to the Public Policy Advisory Group.
