Dear Colleagues,
Every year, the Society for Military Psychology’s Elections Committee asks its members to participate in the democratic process. We ask some to volunteer and run for office. We ask all who are eligible to participate in our Society’s governance by voting. Both acts ensure the strength of our Society now and in the future. The Elections Committee is now accepting nominations for the positions of President-Elect, APA Council Representative, Member-at-Large, and for the first time, Student Member-at-Large. We must have at least two candidates for APA Council Representative. Information about each position is available in the attached document. You are also encouraged to reach out to the current incumbents of these positions if you have any questions. Please send your nominations to div19.elections@gmail.com by 8 Feb 2021. Nominations should include the individual’s name, e-mail address, phone number, and the position for which they are being nominated. We ask that before you nominate someone for a position, you confirm their interest in the position. Self-nominations are welcome. If you have questions about eligibility or the nomination process, please contact any member of the Elections Committee. We also ask all members to ensure their 2021 dues are paid in order to receive a voting ballot from APA. Thanks for participating in the democratic process and ensuring our Society has strong leadership for the future. Best regards, Society for Military Psychology Elections Committee Tatana Olson, President-Elect Bruce Crow, Member-at-Large Emily Grieser, Member-at-Large Scott Johnston, Member-at-Large
