  • APS in Transition: The Cost of Success

    APS activities continue to proceed at a routine speed — fast forward! The Washington office is now open for business (and is busy indeed!). The newly-elected Board of Directors had its first meeting in mid-Summer. The 1990 APS Convention arrangements and program committees have been appointed. Planning for the January APS Summit meeting is underway. Other newly-appointed committees are busy working on a variety of issues, including publications, graduate education, insurance, and membership. Quite clearly, APS has entered an essential transition stage in its development. In only one year APS membership has grown to a size that assures viability. But, along with the increase in membership has come an even greater increase in what is expected of APS. Members expect that APS will now provide broad national leadership in promoting the best of psychological science.
