ALAUX announcement 21 Feb 07, the Auxiliary Administration (AUXMIN)
Specialty Course is no longer recognized for meeting elected officer
eligibility criteria (a wavier was granted in 2007 for AUXMIN). The
Administrative Procedures Course (APC) is the only acceptable course
which will meet the eligibility criteria in 2008 and beyond. Anyone who
desires to run for an elected office this year must have completed the
Auxiliary Procedures Course prior to nomination. This applies to all
levels of elected offices. You can take the open book
APC exam on-line
or use a written version available through the appropriate chain of
leadership. back to TOP REMINDER: Seeking Navigator Articles Seeking fame, fortune, or
