Serving on an APA Board or Committee provides a fabulous opportunity to employ and develop psychology to benefit individuals, groups, organizations, and society. The official call is below. The deadline to submit nominations will be January 31st, 2023.This will be for Board and Committee positions that begin on January 1, 2024.

Information about the boards and committees can be found at https://www.apa.org/about/governance/bdcmte Information about the open slates for 2024 for each of the boards and committees is available at https://nomination.apa.org/

I have served/chaired on a few of these boards and committees as well on the board of directors and would be happy to have a conversation if that would be helpful to you. You would apply using the self-nomination process but endorsement from the society is possible.
