This is a great idea, however, imho, I have never seen APG that forward thinking.

That may very well be true. The challenge lies in demonstrating that so
it's more than just an opinion.

The Department of Labor produces occupational outlook reports for
various occupations. Has APG ever thought about hiring a consultant to
produce one for genealogy? That could bolster your argument, and supply
ammunition for the creation of academic coursework in genealogy.
