Dear APA Members,
As we prep for the upcoming 2024 PAS Meeting, the APA Board and I wanted to share our excitement to connect with you in Toronto. We hope that your time at PAS is one of academic revitalization, community, and celebration. As you plan your schedule at this year’s meeting we hope that you will plan to join your SIGs’ programming and us at one of the following official APA events.
In my previous message I introduced changes the Board made to maximize value to our membership and to minimize conflicts. Those are reflected in the schedule below. Noteworthy changes include an earlier Membership Meeting, a new Leadership Appreciation Reception (that everyone is invited to and that celebrates all APA leaders rather than just the president), and pillar meetings scheduled on Sunday and Monday. Pre-registration is noted for events in which it is required.
