ANNOUNCEMENTS:
a. The Nominating Committee announces four nominees for the election to the Board of Directors of two members at the April Meeting: psychiatric leaders like the GAP membership. Please reach out and get to know all our GAP Fellows. Finally, we’re going to be adding photos to our member registry on the website. I don’t know about you, but it helps me to associate a name with a face. We have arranged for a photographer at the Spring meeting to take headshots of all the attendees. We’re not so naïve to think that we’ll get this accomplished on the first pass, but our goal is to eventually have the names and faces of all members on the roster. All for now. Look forward to seeing all of you in April.
All the best,
