Division members who believe they are qualified are encouraged to consider applying for election to Fellow status in the division.  The criteria and procedure for application are spelled out in the Fellowship Status Manual available at the link below. All necessary forms are also available. If you need a list of current Fellows of Division 32 to assist you in your application this is also available at the link Division 32 Fellows, 2006.

Current Fellows of the Division of Humanistic Psychology are also encouraged to nominate other members of the Division for potential election to Fellowship status in APA. Criteria for Fellow status are spelled out in the materials at the links below.

The deadline for receipt by the Fellows Chair of nominations is October 15, 2006. The deadline for receipt of completed dossiers is November 17, 2006.

Under APA rules, Fellowship is an honor bestowed upon members who have made an "unusual and outstanding contribution or performance in the field of psychology". All fellows must satisfy APA-wide criteria for fellowship. In addition, Division 32 criteria awards fellowship status to members who have made "extraordinary humanistic contributions that have had a long-term impact on psychology or society that can be documented." A member can either apply for Fellowship, or can be nominated by a member of the Division. Once nominated, the member is notified of his or her nomination and is asked to complete the Uniform Fellow Application and to send Standard Evaluation Forms to three Fellows who will provide endorsements. At least one of these endorsers must be a Fellow of Division 32. The application is then reviewed by the Fellowship committee of Div 32. The Fellowship Committee then recommends to the Executive Committee of Division 32 those nominees it wishes to be considered for election. Following Executive Committee action, the nominations are sent to the APA Membership Committee for final review and approval. New Fellows are announced at the Divisions Annual Business Meeting during the APA Convention.

Fellows are reminded that APA rules permit Fellows of other APA Divisions to become Fellows of Division 32 without their election having to be ratified by APA.

We strongly urge all members to contact other people in the Division who are qualified and might want to apply or nominate someone for Fellowship this year.
