All APA Boards and Committees have been asked to nominate and encourage self nominations for the APA Fellows Committee. CONA is interested in submitting a nomination(s) for individuals with aging expertise. If anyone is interested in being nominated, please contact me at ddigilio@apa.org by June 15th. Here is the information regarding the Committee and requirements for submissions:
The Fellows Committee seeks nominations for one new member for a three year term beginning January 1, 2009. The Fellows Committee is charged with the review of nominations for APA Fellows and will report their recommendations on each nomination to the Board of Directors through the Membership Board. The Fellows Committee reports to the APA Council through the Membership Board.
Nominees to the Fellows Committee must be available to meet twice annually, as follows: for up to three days in March at APA headquarters in Washington, DC and for one day at the APA Annual Convention. All expenses for both meetings will be covered or reimbursed by APA. Members of the committee must be APA Fellows, shall not serve on a Division Fellows Committee, nor endorse initial APA Fellow candidates, during their term on the Fellows Committee. The committee encourages nominations that reflect a diverse membership, particularly those that signal opportunity and extend a welcome to emerging but currently underrepresented groups. Nominations must be submitted with a statement of interest and a current vita. Self nominations are welcome.
