AAPA Leadership Fellows Program
Call for Applications
To facilitate the
development of AAPA leaders who will contribute to advancing Asian
Americans, multiculturalism, and social justice within psychology, AAPA
is continuing its leadership development program.
Fellows selected for
the program will participate in several trainings, receive individual
and group mentoring from experienced leaders in AAPA and Past Fellows,
observe/participate in AAPA Executive Committee sessions, complete a
year-long Fellows’ project, and present their experiences at the 2010
AAPA conference. Fellows from the 2009-2010 cohort will then
become Past Fellows and will mentor incoming fellows for the 2010-2011
year (optional attendance at midyear and 2011 August meetings).
Fellows will receive
a stipend in the first year to defray travel costs for each required
meeting (Toronto, midyear meeting TBD, San Diego (minimum of $500 per
trip per Fellow, final amount TBD based on funding)).
Additional costs of travel and participation will be at fellows’
expense.

Fellows’ Projects
Working
closely with a Project Mentor, Fellows will assume primary
responsibility for a Fellow’s Project associated with the following
AAPA initiative:
Training of
Psychologists: Fellows will contribute to developing a forum/program
for ethnic minority psychology students from multiple racial and ethnic
groups to discuss their experiences and contribute to shaping
psychological education/training in relation to race, culture, and
social justice
The specific goals and outcomes for each Fellow in relation to this
project will be developed in collaboration with their
mentors.
