New Blood Needed?
I was delighted to see so many of my old friends nominated to lead APA (see Original article: Norris, Oldham Vie to Become President-Elect). But if that is a pleasure for me, it is a problem for our Association. I hope that some of our younger members will seize the opportunity to be petition candidates in our next election. Back in the Cro-Magnon era, I myself ran as a petition candidate for both Area trustee and vice president. Back then I thought APA needed new leadership, and I think we need it now.
