​APA has more than 71,000 voting members, but recent APA Presidential elections have been decided with only 4,500-6,000 votes for the elected individual. There are about 1,100 SIOP members who are eligible to vote in APA elections. We can make an impact on APA elections. Please review the candidates' statements and vote your conscience before the October 30 deadline!
