Candidates Selected For Assembly Election

At the APA Assembly’s semiannual meeting last month, the nominating committee announced the names of members it selected to compete for the top two Assembly offices.

For the speaker-elect post, Joseph Rubin, M.D., of Maine, who is now the Assembly recorder, will face off against Thomas Grieger, M.D., of Virginia, the representative of the Society of Uniformed Services Psychiatrists.

The candidates vying to be the next recorder are Michael Blumenfield, M.D., a representative of the Psychiatric Society of Westchester County (N.Y.), and Jo-Ellyn Ryall, M.D., of Missouri, the deputy representative for Area 4.

The election will take place at the next Assembly meeting, which begins April 30 in New York in conjunction with APA’s 2004 annual meeting.
