Directors are available to discuss issues affecting the Academy and the physical therapy profession. In addition to the Board of Directors, Academy members participate in committee, task force and Special Interest Group activities. The actions taken by the Board, committees, task forces and SIGs are member-directed. The Academy President is responsible for governing and directing Academy activities and the Board of Directors is guided by the strategic plan. The Academy Delegate participates in the APTA House of Delegates each year, which is the highest decision-making body of the Association, and makes decisions on issues that frequently have far-reaching implications for the Association, the Academy and the profession.
