Structure and Roles

The CEAP is governed by a 21-member Board of Directors composed of 16 regional directors (from the National Capital Region, Regions I to XII, Caraga Region, and Cordillera Administrative Region) and 5 Directors-at-large. The Board is supported by a National Secretariat headed by an Executive Director. The offices of the Executive Director, Programs, Publication and Information, and Administrative Services are currently staffed by 14 personnel.

At the regional level, the regional directors work within particular structure set up for coordination, planning and implementation of programs and other local concerns.

CEAP has four commissions, and their functions are as follows: The Superintendents Commission gathers all diocesan and congregational school superintendents and works to support CEAP's goals. The Commission on Religious Education formulates policies and programs for effective religious education in member institutions, in consultation with the Episcopal Commission on Catechesis and Catholic Education and other offices of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines. The Advocacy Commission is responsible for the effective communication to all concerned sectors of CEAP's position on current issues and problems affecting private education. The Retirement Commission administers the CEAP Retirement Plan which provides retirement benefits to faculty and staff of participating member-institutions.

CEAP Board members sit in the committees which discuss policy matters regarding Personnel and Finance, Programs and Scholarships, Membership and Awards, and Legal Matters.
