Judi was a pioneer in our industry having started A Friend of the Family in Atlanta over 30 years ago. She was a founding member of APNA, the first co-president, and a long-time board member. Her loss leaves a void for many who knew her and were touched in some way by her generous spirit, gentle soul and faithful friendship.
In her honor, APNA has created the Judith Langer Merlin Scholarship for APNA Education.
APNA Honors was created as a way to recognize our members for service and achievements in our industry. Each year a committee reviews nominations and selects those members that have strive to provide quality service that meets or exceeds APNA standards.
APNA is committed to creating a more inclusive and diverse community of household staffing business owners. While our goal has always been, and will continue to be, to support all small business owners within our industry and provide access to the tools required to achieve longevity and profitability, we must acknowledge one important fact: it is historically more difficult for minority owned businesses and entrepreneurs from underserved communities to succeed. APNA is committed to addressing this disparity by improving access to much-needed, industry-specific educational opportunities, such as the APNA Conference and our business building webinars, for this important group of entrepreneurs. 
APNA’s DEI Scholarship is awarded to new agency owners who might not otherwise be able to attend the APNA in-person conference. Scholarships will cover the registration and lodging costs to attend conference, as well as include access to APNA’s monthly webinars and Accelerator Program. Scholarships will be awarded based on financial need and to those applicants who have demonstrated a commitment to building their business through ethical practice and participation and support of the larger community.
Recipient Will Receive:
You do not need to be an APNA Member to apply!
