Welcome - Now Accepting Nominations for APA Councils and Committees
The Association's many accomplishments are made possible through the generosity of our members' time, energy, and expertise. APA President-Elect, Theresa M. Miskimen Rivera, M.D., invites APA members to express interest in serving on an APA Council or Committee. Members who are willing to share their expertise and make a significant time commitment to serve APA, the field of psychiatry, and patients, are asked to submit their names or nominate a colleague. APA members who represent the varied demographics of APA's member and patient populations are strongly encouraged to apply.
For the members whose first term serving on a Council or Committee will end on May 21, 2025, we encourage you to apply for a second term if you wish to be reappointed (these positions include Chairs, Corresponding Members, Consultants and Members). You must apply in order to be considered for reappointment.
Your experience and commitment are highly valued, and we look forward to your continued participation. The deadline for nominations is November 8, 2024.
About the APA Councils and Committees
APA's 14 councils and their committees were established by the Board of Trustees to implement APA's objectives. APA's councils and committees are together known as components. Members of these APA components provide their expertise in the development of APA policy and resources for our membership and the profession.
