Meet the Candidates in APA’s 2020 Election
Abstract
Voting begins on Thursday, January 2, 2020, and ends on Friday, January 31, 2020.
There are 14 candidates vying for national and Area office in this year’s election. Here is the page that contains their photos and the addresses of their personal websites. Voters may also go to psychiatry.org/election and use their member login information to access their electronic 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 December at psychiatry.org/election. Also, members can view videos of the candidates for president-elect, treasurer, and trustee-at-large as they respond to a series of questions posed by APA’s Election Committee. The videos will be posted on the APA election website by the beginning of the voting period.
For Area trustee, members can vote only in the race for their Area, and only resident-fellow members (RFMs) can vote for RFM trustee-elect.
Requests for replacement paper ballots must be emailed to [email protected] by Friday, January 17, 2020.
The deadline for online voting and receipt of paper ballots is Friday, January 31, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. EST.
APA members wishing to campaign on behalf of a candidate are asked to review the APA Election Guidelines, which can also be accessed at psychiatry.org/election. Those with comments or questions about the election should email them to [email protected].
