Christopher M. Kopach

Christopher M. Kopach, Associate Vice President of University Facility Services at The University of Arizona obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and a Master’s Degree in Organizational Management while working full time.  He has 30+ years of facilities management experience from the University of Michigan, contract services and the University of Arizona.  

Chris is the past President of APPA and has been elected as the current President of Rocky Mountain APPA (RMA) with his term running from 2026 - 2028.  His RMA presidency will focus on identifying and completing unfinished business and giving back to RMA members.  Chris would like to continue building on the momentum RMA already has while also identifying new opportunities to provide greater value to RMA members. The only way we will accomplish this is by supporting one another, communicating openly, and working together toward common goals.

He provides a solid leadership background that focuses on developing one team of highly efficient and effective employees working to improve processes that generate operational and financial savings back to the University, all while providing outstanding customer service.
