The Joint Projects Committee

The Joint Projects Committee (JPC) is a committee sponsored jointly by the AAHPERD and the American Heart Association. In addition to serving in an advisory capacity, committee members work throughout the year on projects that support the growth of the Jump Rope For Heart and Hoops For Heart programs and the American Heart Association/AAHPERD partnership.

The Joint Projects Committee (JPC) is comprised of 10 total volunteers, the American Heart Association Youth Market National Consultant and the AAHPERD Joint Projects Program Manager. Volunteers are chosen by AAHPERD and the American Heart Association for their commitment to the JRFH/HFH programs and serve on the committee for a total of three years. JPC members come from many different backgrounds. They have been physical educators, classroom teachers, state AHPERD coordinators, school administrators, the American Heart Association volunteers, and state AHPERD executive directors. JPC members come from all over the nation and represent many different districts and regions.
