David Fassler, M.D. (right), and Andrew Siegel, M.D. (left), present Rep. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.) with a contribution from APA’s political action committee, APAPAC. The presentation was made in Vermont.

Fassler is treasurer of the Vermont Psychiatric Association (VPA), a member of APAPAC Board of Directors, and an APA trustee-at-large, and Siegel is VPA’s deputy representative to the APA Assembly. Sanders is a member of the House Government Reform Committee and of the Mental Health Caucus. He is also a co-sponsor of the 2003 parity and privacy bills that APA supports.

The visit is part of an ongoing program at APA—through APAPAC—in which APA members educate federal and state legislators and policymakers about mental health issues.
