Welcome- Now Accepting Nominations for the APA Board of Trustees
APA members are invited to nominate themselves or a colleague to run for office in APA’s 2025 election. APA members who serve on the Board of Trustees do important work that ultimately steers the Association and has a real-life impact on patients. The offices open for election this year are President-Elect, Secretary, Minority/Underrepresented Representative (M/UR) Trustee, Area 3 & 6 Trustees, and Resident-Fellow Member Trustee-Elect (RFMTE).
APA immediate past President Petros Levounis, M.D., M.A., Chair of the Nominating Committee, is seeking members with the passion to serve APA and psychiatry, particularly members from minority or underrepresented groups.
