APA President-elect John Oldham, M.D., invites voting members of APA to indicate their interest in serving on APA components. Members who are willing to share their expertise and make a significant time commitment to serve APA, the field of psychiatry, and its patients through component service are asked to submit their names or nominate a colleague for consideration. Oldham is looking for APA members who represent the varied demographics of APA's member and patient populations and who bring the expertise necessary to implement component work.

A list of APA components is available in the Members Corner of APA's Web site. If you are interested, or know of other individuals who would be willing to serve, send the name of the component(s) along with a one-page description of the nominee's background, experience, and qualifications. These materials may be attached to an e-mail as a Word document or PDF and sent to appointments@psych.org. If you do not have access to e-mail, please send the materials to John Oldham, M.D., APA President-Elect, c/o Appointments Coordinator, APA, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1825, Arlington, Va. 22209.
