APA Council Corner

Welcome to the American Psychological Association (APA) Council Representative Corner. As Indiana’s representative to the council I will use this forum to keep IPA members informed of important issues coming up for a vote and decisions that are made by Council that affect Indiana psychologists. I welcome all input from IPA members about issues that will be coming before the council, as well as feedback about information you would like to have regarding the council. I feel honored to represent IPA on the council. Please see links below for most recent APA Council Meeting highlights.
