APA Apportionment Results

We're happy to announce that we were successful in keeping our second seat on the APA Council of Representatives! We also garnered 159 more votes than last year which is excellent! If you are not a full member, consider joining. Having a vote means a lot for the profession and consequently our service members. If we could increase this by about another 600 votes, we could achieve a third seat on the Council.
