"My experience as a first-time attendee was phenomenal - I was able to present and receive positive feedback on my research. The APA convention is a great place for a graduate student to network and make important professional contacts. The exhibits and PsycCareers are also helpful resources."

"My primary reason for joining APA is because organization represents the largest number of psychologists in the U.S. and thus ensures that issues that are important to its members and their communicates are given appropriate attention in the highest levels of government."

Chloe House, Ph.D.
"From my little office, it's hard to know what is happening on a federal level. APA keeps me connected to important policy movements, like health-care and torture. I am so glad there are dedicated APA staff and members to work for the greater good."
