APA Invites Nominations for Member-in-Training Position
The APA Nominating Committee is accepting recommendations for candidates
for the member-in-training trustee-elect (MITTE) position for APA's 2009
election.
Each year an 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 MITTE advances
to member-in-training trustee (MITT) and serves on the Board for one year with
a vote.
The resident elected in the 2009 election will serve as MITTE from May 2009
to May 2010, and as MITT from May 2010 to May 2011.
Residents must be APA members-in-training when recommended for the
position; that is, they must have been accepted as APA members in both APA and
their district branch. They must be in their PGY-2 or PGY-3 year in the summer
of 2008.
Moreover, nominees must have written permission from their training
directors to fulfill the two-year commitment as MITTE and MITT as a part of
their training.
The Nominating Committee may consider the following in its deliberations:
APA/DB activities; activity/work in psychiatry/medicine; previous
organizational experience (need not be medically or psychiatrically oriented);
grass-roots community experience, medical and nonmedical training; research
and publications; prior "life experience," such as training or a
job in another field; previous career; unusual background; and leadership
roles that show vision and creativity.
Information about the MITTE/MITT positions, eligibility criteria, and a
submission form are posted on APA's Web site at
<http://new.psych.org/Resources/Governance/MITTEForm.aspx>.
The form to be signed by the resident's training director can be downloaded
from
<www.psych.org/Resources/Governance/2009DirectororChairForm.aspx>.
Nomination materials must be received by August 8. Items should be sent to
