NEWS & MEMBER COMMUNICATIONS Allocation of Votes for DivisionsTom Zentall & MaryLou Cheal
Each fall all members of APA are sent an Allocation Ballot that allows them to allocate their ten votes to divisions, states, etc., of their choice. Many of our members tend to divide their votes between the divisions to which they are members. This seems reasonable until you think of the way those votes are then used.
For several years APA has awarded one council representative to each division, state, etc. regardless of the number of allocation votes that the unit received from the membership. In addition, in 2007, if a unit received more than 0.85% of the votes cast for divisions, it received an additional representative (if more than 1.86%, it received a third representative and so on). In the last election Division 3 received 0.78% of the vote and, thus, lost one of its two representatives, starting in 2009.
When your ballot comes next fall, please consider assigning all 10 of your Allocated votes to Division 3. Given the system of allocation of representatives, it would be beneficial not only to Division 3, but to small science-oriented divisions in general, if members allocated all of the 10 votes to Division 3. That way Division 3 might be able to recoup our second representative while the other divisions would continue to have one representative.
The slate of candidates for the 2008 Division 3 Officer’s election ballot: PRESIDENT-ELECT 1) Irving Biederman Ph.D. 2) Mark A. McDaniel Ph.D. 3) Ralph R. Miller Ph.D.
MEMBER-AT-LARGE OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (Elect 2) 1) Robert G. Cook Ph.D. 2) David A. Washburn Ph.D. 3) Jeremy M. Wolfe Ph.D. 4) Michael E. Young Ph.D.
Each candidate will be invited to submit a 250 word statement to appear on APAs website. Look for the APA Division 3 election ballot and directions to access each candidate's statement in your mailbox sometime after the middle of April.
