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.
