On behalf of the Division 20 Executive Committee, I would like to encourage you to nominate yourself or colleagues to APA Boards and Committees.The deadline for nominations is March 4. If you would like Division 20 to support the nomination, please respond back to me (swhitbo@psych.umass.edu) and I will collate the names. You can access the document that contains the slates here. If for some reason you can't get to the form from the link, just email me and I'll send you the file.
Be sure to read carefully the description of the open slates. Each one is very specific about what type of nominee is desired. At this point, though, you don't have to limit yourself to one committee or board nomination. Most terms are for 3 years. Nominations are taken now and voting begins in the fall among Council members. Terms begin in January, 2012.
Service on an APA Board or Committee is an important way to ensure that our "aging voice" is heard through the organization. Make yours heard by getting involved in these governance groups.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks!
Susan
