- Public Affairs, Governance and Legislation Committee (PGLC)
Beyond the above, we also have the Kenya Professionals’ Development Fund (KPDF).
Though membership to these committees is voluntary and do not attract any form of monetary payment for serving in the committees, they afford members greater opportunities to contribute to the national agenda and to advance the interests of professional bodies, as well as provide an interaction platform for professionals from diverse disciplines and growth of the professions under APSEA.
