Balloting begins Sept. 15 and the election closes on Oct. 30. For biographical information on each candidate and the candidates' election statements, see the May Monitor.
This month's questions:

How would your presidency and presidential initiatives further this vision?
- APA has been grappling with a number of recent challenges. What is the single greatest challenge facing the association and how would you address it during your presidency?
