- Hello everyone!
-
- I need the collective help of The PSYCGRAD community in a personal
- endeavor. Please read on.
-
- For those of you who don't know me, My name is Matthew Simpson. I'm
- the person who founded and is managing The PSYCGRAD Project. If I
- may ask those of you who are student affiliates of the APA for a
- favor, please read on.
-
- The American Psychological Association Graduate Students (APAGS)
- are seeking nominations for office. I have decided to nominate
- myself for the position of Chair-Elect. However, only the top three
- people with the most nominations will be placed on the ballot. This
- letter is to request your help in placing me on the ballot.
-
- If you are a graduate student and an affiliate of the APA, you
- are a member of the APAGS. As such, I sincerely request your
- nomination. Your nomination will have to be sent via the postal
- service to the address below.
-
- The deadline is January 31! So if you are thinking about doing this,
- please take some time and do it now. I need your help.
- You see, the University of Ottawa is in Canada. Most of my peers
- are not affiliated with APA. However, being born and raised in
- and around St. Louis MO, if have a vested interest in APA and APAGS.
-
- If you like The PSYCGRAD Project, like what I have provided here,
- and would like to see more of the same in the offices of the APAGS,
- please send a brief letter stating that you nominate Matthew Simpson
- for the position of Chair-Elect of the APAGS to:
-
- APAGS, Todd Mook
- 750 First Street
- N. E. Washington D.C.
- 20002-4242
-
- BACKGROUND
- I was born and raised in and around St. Louis MO. The B.A. was
- completed at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1989.
- I've been studying in the clinical program at the University of
- Ottawa for the past 3.5 years. My course work is complete.
- Comps are to be done by August. And internship starts in Sept.
- My focus is in behavioral medicine. And, of course, one of my
- major projects has been the creation of The PSYCGRAD Project.
-
- I apologize is this is a bit long-winded. I don't want to go
- on and on about "me glorious me" (with a shrug). I just wanted to
- tell you about the person who you may be nominating, as well
- as emphasize how important it is for me to get on the ballot by
- working through The PSYCGRAD Project. The potential of the
- members of this list to collectively act is incredible, I think.
-
- If elected, I will serve a three year mandate. The first year will
- be as Chair-Elect, the second as Chair, the third as Past-Chair.
- The duties of the Chair-elect are to coordinate the activities of the
- Executive Board under the direction of the Chair. The Executive Board
- meets three times each year.
-
- I sincerely hope that The PSYCGRAD Project serves as a good example
- of my abilities to, not only handle the job, but excel in it. As you
- may have already guessed, one of my major ambitions in the job would
- be to bring the APAGS onto the internet and bitnet community, so that
- you could have better access to them in an on-line manner. To do that,
- I need your nomination today.
-
- Also, if you would be so inclined to invite your peers who are not
- associated with The PSYCGRAD Project to also nominate me, it would be
- greatly appreciated.
-
- Thank you all sincerely for your time and attention.
-
- Have fun! :-)
-
- Matthew Simpson
