We were fortunate to have very high quality submissions and reviews for APA’s 2020 convention in Washington, DC, from Aug. 6-9. A total of seven symposia and 65 posters were accepted by Div. 20. In an effort to prioritize more collaborative programming, APA reviewed all divisions’ programming hours. Our total programming hours were reduced from 18 to 14; this change was similar or less than the loss other divisions experienced. Contact regarding the final program will come from the APA Central Programming Group in March/April 2020. The annual Grand Research Competition will continue this year. Each division will select two top poster submissions, one from an APAGS member/APA student affiliate and one from an APA member. The deadline for submitting a PDF of accepted posters to D20 program chairs to be considered for the Grand Research Competition will be in early July. See the division proposals page on the convention websiteopens in new window for more information. Finally, details regarding the off-site dinner and on-site social hour will be available in late spring. We hope to have another successful round of fundraising to subsidize these important networking events. Looking forward to seeing many of you in August.
