SoAP Election Results
Thank you to everyone that expressed an interest in running for the two offices open this election cycle. Ultimately, there were three named candidates on the Division 50 ballot, all well qualified. One hundred seventy nine votes were cast or 24% of the Division’s voting membership. Thank you to everyone who cast their vote.
Joel Grube was elected SoAP’s incoming President-Elect and Bruce Liese was elected the new Member-at-Large (Practice). Congratulations to the newly elected and thanks to the outgoing board members for their dedication and contributions to SoAP!
Running for office is one way to give back to the field and increase your visibility at the national level. We will be looking for President-Elect, Member-At- Large (Public Interest), and APA Council Representative candidates later this year; if you are interested please inform Lauren Hoffman, Chair of the Nominations and Elections Committee (lhoffman1@mgh.harvard.edu).
