APAGS has a governance structure that largely mirrors that of APA.
The student group operates on an academic year, transitioning leadership each August at the APA Convention, to accommodate students' schedules and willingness to serve in various APAGS roles. The APAGS Chair serves a three-year term, as Chair-elect, Chair and Past-chair. The six elected APAGS Members-at-Large serve two-year terms. APAGS subcommittee chairs are appointed and serve two-year terms.
The following members hold governance positions in APAGS.
