2026-2027 APA Call for Volunteers
The Association's many accomplishments are made possible through the generosity of our members' time, energy, and expertise. APA President-Elect, Mark Rapaport, M.D., invites APA members to express their interest in serving on an APA council or committee. Members who are willing to share their expertise and make a meaningful time commitment to the work of the Association are encouraged to apply.
For the members whose first term serving on a Council or Committee will end on May 20, 2026, 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. If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact appointments@psych.org.
