NEW STRATEGIC PLAN

Over the past year, APPE has completed a strategic planning process that began with feedback directly from you—our members, conference attendees, presenters, donors, and more. Thank you! We are grateful for the time you took to provide comments, questions, and guidance. The process continued with expert guidance and the focused engagement of the APPE Executive Director and APPE board members during the last two board meetings.

As a result of these insights and reflections on our first 30 years, we are excited to announce a vision statement and implementation plan based on four focus areas that are central to our work. In our plan, you’ll find that APPE remains committed to our core mission to improve ethical conduct in our communities and workplaces, support and develop the next generation of ethics faculty and professionals, and advance public dialogue in ethics and values.

For our long-time friends and members, we hope that you see your contributions reflected in the plan and that you are excited and energized for the future of APPE. For those new to APPE, we hope you find an organization that is a place for people like you—people who aren’t just ethically curious, but committed to a better, more just world.

Thanks again for helping to guide our next 30 years and beyond. We’ll continue to check in with you along the way to see how we’re making progress.

Working for the greater good...

Since APPE's founding, the world has undergone significant change. Across a variety of domains, we face uniquely new and persistent challenges that push the boundaries of current ethical standards and frameworks. 

Today's ethical dilemmas require innovative, collaborative, and interdisciplinary approaches.  As an organization dedicated to these principles and embedding the practice of ethics and ethical decision-making into all aspects of society, APPE's work has greater potential impact now than ever.

APPE Sponsorship

The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) provides sponsorship opportunities to corporations, businesses, universities, and organizations that demonstrate a commitment to the values and mission of APPE.  APPE does not sell products of sponsoring entities nor does APPE ask its members to sell or use those products.  An affiliation as a sponsor does not imply an endorsement whereby APPE favors one entity over another.  

Sponsorships are a meaningful way to support the work of APPE and we are grateful for those who partner with us.  APPE sponsors are able to build relationships within the ethics community, market their brand to APPE's unique and targeted constituency, and demonstrate care for a stronger and more ethical society.
