- Abstract
This article presents the report of the executive director of the American Personnel and Guidance Association (APGA) for the period May 1, 1970 to April 30, 1971. The year 1970-71 was a year spent in much Association self-examination, as well as exploration and progress in a host of new professional activities. In response to the 1970 New Orleans Senate, the APGA Commission on Purposes, Functions, and Operations was asked to develop a new model for the Association. After extensive investigation, the Commission, chaired by Glenn Fear, introduced its view of what APGA should be. The Commission's proposal was later called the Council for Human Development Services model. Under the theme "Human Rights--Our Concern for Change," the Atlantic City Convention of 1971 continued expressing the Associations concern for the plight of a human being, individually and as a member of society. Statistics associated with the Convention also showed that Atlantic City was an appealing locale for many members. A total of 9,125 conventioneers were present; 160 exhibit booths displayed their wares, 85 films were shown continuously in the APGA film festival, and the placement center had over 386 job openings for applicants to screen.
