When will I receive my invitation for group sessions?
Please see the APA's list of
Important Dates and Deadlines.
Invitations for group sessions are handled by the divisional secretary treasurers. Please keep your contact information up-to-date to ensure that you receive upcoming meeting information.
Who do I contact if I have a question about my session or the meeting program?
The
Secretary Treasurer (ST) for that meeting's division.
The STs handle all meeting program requests such as planning sessions, inquiries about sessions, and how to proceed if you are on the meeting program.
Any inquiry related to meeting programs received through the affiliates system or inbox will be forwarded to the appropriate ST. The affiliates administrator handles questions about the APA's affiliated group database, including updating group contact information.

Affiliated Group Status.
You must be an APA member to access the form.
Groups must provide the following:
- Group name
- Mission statement
- Certification of compliance with the APA's Nondiscrimination Statement
-
Contact information for a group representative for each divisional meeting
- Group representatives must be APA members.
Is my group an active APA affiliate?
If your organization has held a session at an APA divisional meeting within the past 10 years, yes. If you have had a session within the past 10 years and do not see your group listed, please
contact us.
Affiliated groups that have been inactive (that is, have not held a session at a divisional meeting) for 10 years or more will be removed from the affiliated group list.
