2004 Division Leadership
Conference
The Committee on Division/APA Relations (CODAPAR) will host its
annual Division Leadership Conference (DLC) January 30 - February
1, 2004. The DLC will be held at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington,
D.C.
CODAPAR, chaired by Dr. Ilene Serlin, PhD, and the Division Office
staff have worked hard to put together a program that is designed
to be interactive and very informative. Structured as a training
session, the DLC's goal is to present division President-Elects
with information on how to have a successful and effective term
in office. Most sessions will be presented by APA staff who will
share their knowledge in on topics such as, "The Attorney is In",
Student Affiliates and "Early Career Professionals", "Ethnic Minority
Recruitment Issues", "Structural Issues in Division Management",
"Tips for Recruitment and Retention" as well as sessions on current
issues and activities in the Education, Practice, Public Interest,
and Science Directorates. For the complete DLC program, click here.

Apportionment Ballot Results—Legislative
Year 2005
The 2003 Bylaws Amendment and Apportionment Ballot for legislative
year 2005 were mailed to all eligible voters on October 31. The
proposed bylaws amendment on Pro/Con Statements was defeated with
7,118 (66.24%) votes not to approve and 3,627 (33.76%) to approve.
A bylaws amendment must be approved by 2/3rds of those voting in
order to pass. The proposed new language would have required that
all bylaws amendment ballots include an explanation of the proposed
amendment and would have eliminated Pro/Con Statements altogether.
