Division 45

of the American Psychological Association

Presenter: Jessica Henderson Daniel, PhD, ABPP

Virtual Happy Hour
Total duration: 60 minutes
Moderator: Dr. Michi Fu

Title: In a Seat at the APA Tables: Appointment and Election to
Boards and Committees

Some people are content to list their membership in organizations, others want to participate in the actual governance of the organization. In the American Psychological Association, one way to be involved in governance is to be either appointed or elected to a Board or Committee.

It is a process. People make decisions about who will be considered and so people need to know you in order for you to be in the pipeline for possible placement on slates. This Virtual Hour will seek to de-mystify the process. The roads to being active in APA are varied. However, it is critical to get on the road. And while one is in route to seek advice from those who are ahead of you. This session will focus on ways to get started on the journey and to stay on the road.

We will begin with informal networking, brief introduction of presenter, presentation, and Q&A session with a moderator.

This event is open to Division 45 members only. Please join us! RSVP here: apadiv45@gmail.com
