Abstract

Voting begins on Tuesday, January 3, and ends on Tuesday, January 31.

There are 15 candidates vying for national and Area office in this year’s election. Here are their photos and, for those who would like more information about the candidates directly from them, the addresses of their personal websites.

Ballots will be emailed on Tuesday, January 3, to all APA voting members who have a valid email address on file with APA. Those who do not will receive a mailed paper ballot.

To help APA members select the candidates they believe are best qualified for office, candidates’ biographical and position statements will be posted on the APA election website by the end of this month at www.psychiatry.org/elections.

A booklet containing the same information will be mailed with the paper ballots.

Members can also view videos of the candidates for president-elect and secretary as they discuss their positions on issues important to APA and psychiatry. The videos will be posted on the APA election website by the end of this month.

Requests for replacement paper ballots must be emailed by Thursday, January 19, to [email protected].

The deadline for online voting and receipt of paper ballots is Tuesday, January 31, at 11:59 p.m. EST.

APA members wishing to campaign on behalf of a candidate are asked to review the APA Election Guidelines, posted at www.psychiatry.org/electionguidelines.
