About APA

Regional Psychological Associations

As stated in Article XII of the APA bylaws, regional psychological associations are affiliated with the American Psychological Association. Regional associations are representative of the scientific and professional interests of the psychologists within a given region of the country. Contact information for each of the seven regional psychological associations is available on this page.

Annual meetings of the regional psychological associations provide an opportunity for psychologists and students to share knowledge, take advantage of professional development and continuing education opportunities, and develop professional networks.
