Candidates for President-Elect Respond

Every year the candidates for president-elect in APA's election are given a second opportunity to address the membership in Psychiatric News in the issue after publication of its annual election section (which this year was the December 6 issue). As that issue goes to press, the candidates are sent each other's candidacy statements and are invited to write a follow-up statement with a limit of 350 words. The statements by this year's president-elect candidates appear below.

APA voting members are reminded that ballots will be mailed on January 6. The deadline for receipt of completed ballots is February 6. Members will once again have the option of voting online. More information about the election can be found at APA's Web site at www.psych.org by clicking on the 2003 election logo.
