Residents Urged To Seek Seat On APA Board
The member-in-training trustee has an opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience.
The APA Nominating Committee is accepting recommendations for candidates for the member-in-training trustee-elect (MITTE) position for the 2003 election.
The member-in-training trustee position was created by constitutional amendment in 1987. Each year a member-in-training trustee-elect (MITTE) is elected by APA members-in-training and serves on the Board for one year without a vote. At the end of that year, the member-in-training trustee-elect advances to member-in-training trustee (MITT) and serves on the Board for one year with voting privileges. A new MITTE is elected. These positions provide national APA leadership opportunities specifically for members-in-training.
The resident elected in the 2003 election will serve as MITTE from May 2003 to May 2004, and as member-in-training trustee from May 2004 to May 2005.
Residents must be APA members-in-training when the recommendation is made; that is, they must have been accepted as members in both APA and the district branch. They must be in their PGY-2 or PGY-3 year this summer and submit the following information by August 5:
• A curriculum vitae no more than two pages in length.
• A one-page statement from the resident supporting his/her recommendation, including answers to these questions: What would your particular skills and experience bring to APA? What would you do to address the major issues facing psychiatry and/or APA?
• A statement from the training director or department chair indicating that if the resident is elected, the training director agrees to allow him/her to honor this two-year commitment as MITTE and MITT as part of training.
• PGY-3 residents must submit a signed statement of intent to continue training through PGY-5 so as to be in training through the term as member-in-training trustee.
Nominations should be sent by August 5 to Richard Harding, M.D., Chair, APA Nominating Committee, 1400 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005; Attn: Carol Lewis.
More information on the MITTE nominating process is available by contacting Lewis by phone at (202) 682-6063; by fax at (202) 682-6282; or by e-mail at clewis{at}psych.org.
