Please see the attached email written by COL(R) Sally Harvey, our Council Representative and former Division 19 President. She’s writing in reference to a second attached letter by Dr. Robert Resnick, a Division 42 Council Representative and former APA President. They both express dissatisfaction with APA staff’s alignment with Sidley & Austin and emphasize the need for APA to be truly member-led.
The Student Affairs Committee (SAC) is pleased to announce the selection of our new Chair-Select, Ethan Banner. Ethan is a second year PsyD student in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver and was selected for Air Force HPSP in 2018! His clinical interests include post traumatic growth, neuropsychological assessment, and operational psychology. Jourdin Navarro has officially moved into the Chair position, and Kelsi Rugo has rotated to the Past Chair position. We would like to thank Nate Tenhundfeld for his valuable service over the past three years and wish him the best as his time on the SAC has come to a final close.
Serving on the SAC for the past two years and getting to look behind the curtain of a large professional organization like ours has been immeasurably valuable for me. I am so appreciative of the countless society members who have donated their time, expertise, votes, mentorship, and money to the student affiliates of our organization. Your efforts are not unseen or unappreciated, and we are eager to follow in your footsteps. Our committee is in fantastic hands under Jourdin's leadership and I look forward to the great things to come for our committee and society in 2019! Very Respectfully, Kelsi Rugo, MA, NCC National Center for Veterans Studies The University of Utah Chair, Student Affairs Committee The Early Career Psychology (ECP) Committee is pleased to introduce Dr. Jessica Ford as our new Chair-Select. Dr. Ford is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at East Carolina University and an inaugural 2018 recipient of Division 19’s ECP Professional Development Awards. As I transition to Past Chair, Dr. Neil Shortland will assume the ECP Chair role. Dr. Shortland is an assistant professor in the School of Criminology and Justice Studies and the Director of the Center for Terrorism and Security Studies at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. We have had a tremendous year strengthening our relationship with our student members, and in addition to our transition committee leadership, we welcome Michelle Koster as our Student-ECP liaison.
I want to express how much I have enjoyed serving as ECP Committee Chair. I am grateful for the support of senior division leadership in the professional development and inclusion of ECPs across governance, as shown by our increased presence on boards and committees, our new professional development grants and the launch of the Society’s Leadership Program. It is an exciting time to be an ECP, and I look forward to seeing what we accomplish in 2019! Very Respectfully Ryan R. Landoll, Ph.D., ABPP, Maj, USAF Division 19 APA Program Chair Division 19 Early Career Psychology Committee Past Chair As I transition to Past-Chair, Alexander Wind will be taking over as the Chair.

Best Regards, Shawnna Chee Editor, The Military Psychologist Shawnna.m.chee.mil@mail.mil Dear Division 19 Members,
On November 15, 2018 the APA sent out the Apportionment Ballot to all APA Members. This is conducted annually in order to determine the composition of the following years’ Council. The Council of Representatives (CoR) is the legislative arm of the APA, possessing complete authority and influence over the affairs and finances of the Association. Due to our members’ activism and advocacy, we have become a two-seat council – something that provides our issues a greater voice at the Association’s table. However, if we don’t continue to mobilize the vote, or if members choose not to apportion the majority (if not all) of their votes for Division 19, our representation could shift back to a single member on the CoR. We want to continue having a strong voice on Council, influencing the important decisions that impact us now and into the future. We can only do this with your help. Division 19 EXCOM is, therefore, asking you to join others in Pledging 10 for 19: CAST ALL 10 VOTES FOR DIVISION 19. Your vote counts! Please Pledge 10 for 19 today! Take these steps to Pledge 10 for 19. · Be on the lookout for your apportionment ballot in the mail.
