For APA’s Board of Trustees to develop a focused set of priorities to drive APA’s vision and work forward over the next five years, your views are critical.” *Please note the following:* ***** Your response is completely anonymous and confidential. Neither APA nor our survey administrators will be able to identify respondents. In addition, data from the survey will be used only in the aggregate and cannot be used in any individually identifying way. ***** The timeframe we are assessing and planning for is the next five years. ***** The survey will be open until Sunday, Nov. 16, but we encourage you to complete the [survey](http://www.periscopeiq.com/piq/generatesurvey.asp?9499) now. Your voice is important to this process. ***** We request one response per person. “Thank you for your time and your best thinking about changes in the environment and some of the potential choices we face,” said Summergrad. “We cannot make these important decisions without your help.” (Image: Shutterstock/ISP: Irides, LLC) ## Related posts ## [APA Announces Results of 2016 National Election](https://alert.psychnews.org/2016/02/apa-announces-results-of-2016-national.html) ![Picture of Psychiatric News Alert](https://alert.psychnews.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Psych%20News%20Email%20Banners/PN-Blue-Box_rgb.png?width=50&name=PN-Blue-Box_rgb.png) [Psychiatric News Alert](https://alert.psychnews.org/author/psychiatric-news-alert) 6/24/24 11:16 AM APA’s Committee of Tellers has approved the following results of APA’s 2016 national election....
