At the following World Conference, in 2000 in Chicago, the name has been changed to WAPCEPC (World Association for Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy and Counseling), the Statutes (http://www.pce-world.org/about-us/statutes-and-bylaws/statutes.html) and Bylaws were agreed, a Board elected.

WAPCEPC is a worldwide forum for those professionals in science and practice who have a commitment to person-centered principles and an openness to the development and elaboration of person-centered and experiential theory.
