Consider Becoming an APA Officer or Trustee

As chair of APA’s Nominating Committee, APA Immediate Past President Bruce Schwartz, M.D., is seeking to diversify the elected leadership of APA and invites all members to consider running for one of the open offices and trustee positions in APA’s 2021 election: president-elect; secretary; early-career psychiatrist trustee-at-large; minority/underrepresented representative trustee; Area 1, 4, and 7 trustees; and resident-fellow member trustee-elect.

Members may self-identify their interest to serve. If selected by the Nominating Committee, you will be invited to run as a candidate in the upcoming election. To self-nominate, submit a completed nomination form available at psychiatry.org/election by Tuesday, September 1. If you are not interested in running for office at this time, nominate a colleague at [email protected]. All nominees must submit a completed nomination form by the deadline.

This is your chance to serve APA, your colleagues, and psychiatry and ensure that the professional issues of most importance to you are addressed. More information about APA’s election and nomination requirements are posted at psychiatry.org/election. ■
