Derek Kameda, upper school registrar, recently joined the College Board’s Consultant Advisory Panel, which was established to “review policies, procedures and activities related to the management and support of all College Board consultants,” Kameda said.

He now serves as one of 28 College Board advanced placement coordinator consultants. At this year’s AP annual conference in San Francisco, he provided his expertise to AP coordinators, giving a workshop on how to improve the administration of AP exams and offering individual mentoring to AP coordinators at another workshop.

Prior to being invited to join this panel, Kameda had been on the board that organized the 2010 AP Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
