The more than 260 members of the APA Assembly chose Prakash Desai, M.D., as the group’s new speaker-elect. They also chose James Nininger, M.D., as the next Assembly recorder.
Desai, chief of staff at the VA Chicago Health Care System/West Side Division and a professor and assistant dean at the University of Illinois at Chicago, had served as recorder for the last year. At the close of the Assembly’s three-day meeting in Philadelphia last month, Desai replaced Albert Gaw, M.D., as speaker-elect, as Gaw stepped up to become speaker.
Desai’s opponent was Area 7 representative Louis Moench, M.D., of Utah.
In the contest for recorder, Nininger, the Area 2 representative, outpolled Lawrence Kline, M.D., a representative of the Washington (D.C.) Psychiatric Society.
Nininger is in private practice in New York City and a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Cornell University Medical College.
The Assembly does not announce the vote tallies in its annual election.
