Dear AAPA members,

The 2015 AAPA Conference Poster Committee would like to invite practicing psychologists and faculty members to volunteer for an hour on August 5th to judge poster presentations.

If you are interested and willing to volunteer, we ask that you please contact the AAPA poster committee on or before June 23rd at aapapostercommittee@gmail.com. You will be asked to be judging posters throughout the convention, especially during the poster session at 3:30-4:30pm.

Thank you very much for considering this service to our community!

Sincerely,

P. Priscilla Lui, M.A. & Kimberly J. Langrehr, Ph.D.
