A Special Request from Division 15
We've been working hard over the past several years to continuously expand our services, our publications, and our impact in the field. But, we need your help to keep this momentum alive!
If you've enjoyed your Division 15 membership, we encourage you to refer colleagues, students, and mentors for 2019 enrollment (which has already begun)! Remember that new members get their first year 100% free, and that APA Central membership is not required to join! Renewal options start at just $15/year thereafter, making this organization an incredible value. New membes can learn more and join here.
If you are currently a member, please be sure to renew as soon as possible so we can begin scaling our services for 2019. Renewal notices will be emailed to you, but you can always submit your renewal via your APA online account. Every year, hundreds of members forget to renew, so please jump on the first notice you receive!
