AVAPL 2011 Membership Drive
Please forward this message and invitation to the other psychologists at
your station.
Dear Fellow VA Psychologists:
I am writing on behalf of the Association of VA Psychologist Leaders
(AVAPL) to encourage you to join or renew your membership in AVAPL.
AVAPL addresses the professional needs and concerns of ALL VA
psychologists ---current leaders and aspiring leaders, practitioners,
training staff, researchers, new career psychologists, and trainees.
Membership is a wonderful way to learn new ideas and share information,
support advocacy efforts that benefit VA psychologists and Veterans, and
gain the support, expertise, and friendship of fellow VA psychologists
across the country. Our expertise as an organization and our value as
an advocate on behalf of the Veterans we serve have been recognized in a
number of ways over the years, such as when AVAPL members have been
asked to testify before the U.S. Congress, or during annual meetings
between the AVAPL Executive Board members and key officials at VA
Central Office.
AVAPL wants you to have the opportunity to make an impact on the future
of Psychology in the VA and the care we provide to Veterans. That can
only happen when you join together with us as an interested and active
member!
Advantages of membership include:
* Active members in good standing may vote, hold office, and
participate in all business and scientific meetings of AVAPL.
* Reduced registration fee for the annual VA Psychology Leadership
Conference
* Direct input to the Executive Committee to shape the agenda for
the annual meeting with VA Central Office, APA, VSO, and other key
leaders in Washington
* Opportunity to get involved with AVAPL initiatives and
committees (see list on application or go to www.avapl.org
<http://www.avapl.org/> ).
* Membership in a national network of VA psychologists providing
collaboration and support.
* Access to organizational listservs
There are three categories for AVAPL membership: Active, Honorary, and
Training Affiliate.
* Active membership is available to existing psychologist leaders
(e.g. patient care line or discipline service chiefs or assistant
chiefs, section heads, division or program managers, those with VISN
leadership positions, program or team leaders, directors of training,
senior researchers, etc.) or those who aspire to be leaders within the
VA system.
* Honorary membership is available to former AVAPL members and
others who have furthered the cause of VA psychology and Veteran's
health care. Honorary members may not vote or hold office, but receive
all other benefits of membership. If you have any questions about
eligibility for membership, please contact the AVAPL treasurer (contact
information listed below).
* Training Affiliate membership is available to current psychology
postdoctoral fellows and interns.

member before)

2010)
