Member Feedback

Your satisfaction is important to us!  Contact the APA Answer Center by phone or e-mail with questions and comments, or complete a feedback form online to comment on the new Web site. We’d also like to hear about your experience with us on the phone. The APA is seeking your feedback and suggestions on the quality of member service received when calling our offices.  If you have called the APA’s main number and have either spoken directly with our Answer Center staff or have been transferred to another department, we want to know about your experience and whether you received the assistance that you sought.  Please take a few minutes to complete a six-question survey on your experience on the phone with the APA Answer Center.
