Results of Voting for Division 5 Section Representatives


Results from the recent Division 5 elections for Section representatives are now available. I am pleased to announce that Dr. David MacKinnon has been elected to represent the Section for Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics, Dr. David S. Herzberg has been elected to represent the Section for Assessment, and Dr. Frederick Wertz has been elected to represent the Section for Qualitative Inquiry in Psychology. They will begin their 3-year terms of service either in August of 2012 (retroactively) or 2013, to be determined by the Executive Committee. They are invited to the 2013 Division 5 Mid-Year Meeting of the Executive Committee which will be held in Tempe, Arizona on March 2, 2013. We are fortunate to have such capable individuals willing to serve Division 5 in these capacities.

The Elections Committee also wants to thank nominees Ginger Calloway, Angela D. Bryan, Paul R. Hernandez and Marco Gemignani. Although they were not elected this time, we hope that you will join me in thanking them for their willingness to serve and encourage these talented individuals to continue so generously giving their time and expertise to Division 5 and the profession in the future.

Finally, we want to thank all of you for your participation in the voting process.

Chair, Elections Committee

The Division of Evaluation, Measurement, & Statistics draws together specialists in the areas of evaluation, measurement, assessment and statistics. Our membership of approximately 2,000 includes specialists in the fields of educational psychology, psychometrics, industrial-organizational psychology, and individual assessment. The disciplinary affiliation of division membership reaches well beyond psychology, includes both members and nonmembers of APA, and welcomes graduate students.

Division 5 members share these goals:

    1. To promote research and the exchange of scientific information in the fields encompassed by Division 5.
    2. To promote high standards in both research and practical application in these fields.
    3. To interact professionally with other individuals and groups involved in the application of and interpretation of results from psychological measurement, statistics, individual assessments, and program evaluations.
The bylaws of the Division are available here.

A message from the Website Editor, Alan Reifman (August 2009): I am pleased to take over from my predecessor, Keith Markus, who spearheaded several efforts to enhance the Division 5 website during his tenure.  Activities undertaken under Keith's leadership include listings of quantitative psychology programs, efforts to educate students and the public on what quantitative psychology is all about, and a component page on the teaching of statistics.  We thank Keith for these efforts (and I thank him in particular for guiding me through the transition!).  I am eager to hear about any ideas members have for advancing this site (you can e-mail me via the above link to my faculty webpage).  I look forward to working with the Website Committee and Division 5 members at large.
