APER is a bilingual professional association founded in 1973 that represents managers working in Quebec’s health and social services sector. Since APER’s inception, we’ve been a staunch ally for our members, offering a wide range of professional services to meet their unique needs around career development, labour relations, and advocacy.

Board of Directors
Our directors carry out their duties and responsibilities in accordance with the association bylaws and serve the terms for which they were elected at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors’ role is to adopt policies that align with the association’s strategic goals. It also sets targets and allocates the resources needed to meet them. More broadly, the Board is responsible for the overall management and oversight for the association. APER relies on the active involvement and commitment of our Board’s 8 elected members, who meet at least 4 times a year to fulfill their mandates.
