APA members are encouraged to do their part to steer the future of the organization and psychiatry by casting their ballots for open positions on the APA Board of Trustees, including national and area offices. The Board sets APA’s priorities, policies, and budgets.

January 31 is the deadline to submit your vote at psychiatry.org/election.

Please review the election guidelines(.pdf) that are designed to even the playing field for all candidates. APA produced some additional material about the candidates below.

• The 2024 Candidates Guide (.pdf) describes the candidates’ backgrounds, platforms, and vision for the future of psychiatry, and includes their responses to key questions about their candidacy.
• Listen to candidates for incoming president, treasurer, and trustee-at-large as they dive into their platform and qualifications for the role they are campaigning for on The Board. (Links to each candidate are on the Elections page.)
• The December issue of Psychiatric News provided candidate information, election information and deadlines, and campaigning guidelines. Results of the election will be available in mid-February.
