APA's 2007 Annual Convention will once again offer cross-cutting programs sponsored by three or more APA divisions. The groups voluntarily collaborated to propose these programs, which were evaluated and accepted by the APA Board of Convention Affairs' Central Programming Working Group based on criteria such as the programs' originality, relevance to division and APA members, and overall quality.
