APPG Appoints Mariann Ruhno as Chief Education Officer
The Accounts Payable Professionals Group is proud to announce that Mariann Ruhno has been appointed Chief Education Officer, effective June 29, 2026.
Mariann is already a valued member of APPG. Over the past year, she has served on our Board of Advisers, bringing her experience as an award-winning educator and her passion for learning, mentorship, and professional development to our growing community.

Building a Stronger Learning Path for AP Professionals
Accounts payable is changing quickly. AP professionals are being asked to understand automation, internal controls, vendor management, fraud prevention, compliance, reporting, communication, and leadership.
At the same time, many AP professionals are looking for clearer career paths, better training, and more practical resources created by people who understand the work.
Mariann’s background in education makes her especially well suited for this role. Her focus will be on helping APPG turn practical AP knowledge into learning experiences that are useful, understandable, and connected to the real challenges AP professionals face every day.

As Chief Education Officer, Mariann will help APPG build toward a stronger educational foundation for the profession. This includes future courses, certification pathways, member learning resources, and professional development programs designed to support both new and experienced AP professionals.
Please join us in congratulating Mariann on this well-deserved next chapter.
We are excited for the impact she will have on APPG, our members, and the accounts payable profession.
