 AHEPPP Board of Directors

AHEPPP is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Board members serve for 3-year, renewable terms and represent the diversity of college and universities within AHEPPP.  This includes members from both public and private institutions, large and small institutions, and representation from different geographical regions.

Founding Members

In 2008, the founding members of AHEPPP laid a foundation for the organization by reviewing the history of parent services nationally, dating back to the 1920s; developing guidelines for best practices in the field; and identifying benchmarks for parent and family services. Since then, AHEPPP has grown to over 225 institutions.
