Call for Nominations: Continuing Education Committee Terms Beginning 2012
The Continuing Education Committee (CEC) seeks nominations for four new members to begin 3-year terms on Jan. 2, 2012. Nominations are accepted from individuals, APA Committees, Boards, and Divisions, as well as self-nominations.
As defined in APA’s Association Rules, the committee develops policy and program recommendations for the association’s continuing education (CE) program, working collaboratively with the Office of CE Sponsor Approval and the Office of Continuing Education in Psychology. The committee’s tasks include, but are not limited to:
Providing review of all sponsors and organizations seeking APA sponsor approval.
Collaborating with organizations that want to become APA-approved sponsors.
Reviewing and selecting CE Workshops and CE Sessions that will be sponsored by the CEC at the APA Annual Convention.
Identifying, promoting, implementing and evaluating research, development and innovations in CE.
The Committee seeks to assemble a professionally and culturally diverse group of psychologists. It encourages nominations from individuals committed to lifelong learning and is specifically looking for individuals with expertise in religion/spirituality, geropsychology, neuropsychology, psychopharmacology, independent practice, psychoanalysis, addiction and cyberpsychology. Early career psychologists are also encouraged to submit nominations. CEC is committed to maintaining a diverse and broad representation from all groups and areas of psychology; and particularly seeking individuals representing the following: women, minorities, sexual orientation and geographical diversity.
Members are required to attend two 3-4 day committee meetings each year in the Washington, D.C., area with expenses reimbursed by APA. Members also work on committee projects between meetings and will be expected to participate in committee conference calls and email discussions. In addition, CEC members are encouraged to attend related events at the APA Convention if possible — though expenses cannot be reimbursed.
Each Nomination Packet Must Include
A letter indicating willingness to serve on the CEC

The Deadline for Submission Is Aug. 31, 2011
