expiring in July 2012. Pursuant to the ACA Charter, the National
Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors (NASTAD)
and the National Association of Governmental Labor Officials (NAGLO)
are both represented by their current Presidents on the public group of
the ACA. The Secretary has appointed Ms. Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, Chief
Executive Officer from Green for All as the Chairperson of the ACA.
Time and date: An open meeting of the ACA is scheduled for October 27-
28, 2010, in Washington, DC. The meeting will begin at approximately 9
a.m. on Wednesday, October 27, 2010, and continue until approximately 5
