Greetings ArPA Leadership, As your APA Council of Representatives member, I am preparing for our upcoming council meeting (February 19-22) in Washington, DC. Each Council representative has been asked to poll our respective Executive Committee about the most critical, top three, strategic issues facing the discipline over the next 5-10 years. Note that by "strategic issues facing psychology" we mean high level, overarching concerns that will influence many if not most areas of psychology in the next decade or so and/or that will influence how psychology interacts with the world around it. Examples might include psychology's role in primary care and globalization/internationalization. These results will be aggregated by APA staff and be made use of during the Council strategic issue discussions. What I need from you is input! As a group, we need to decide on ArPA's top three, critical, strategic issues that we believe are facing the discipline over the next 5-10 years, and I'll be sure to communicate this to APA for discussion at the upcoming Council meeting. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Courtney Ghormley APA Council Representative from Arkansas Courtney O.
