Program Committee

The Program Committee is charged with constructing the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology Program at the Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association. The President chooses the theme of the Division 22 program and the Program Committee Chair. The Chair also works closely with the Board of Convention Affairs to coordinate with the larger APA program. The responsibilities of the Chair include:

* Forming a Program Committee
* Soliciting invited speakers for the convention program
* Forming a Peer Review Group to score the program submissions
* Receiving submissions, sending them for scoring, accepting/declining submissions based on scores, and notifying submitters of outcome by letter
* Selecting final program in consultation with President according to the rules of the APA Board of Convention Affairs
* Entering program on APA website according to guidelines
* Working with the Program Chair-Elect to schedule the Divisional hospitality suite
* Promoting the program
* Submitting a report to the Executive Board

Program Committee members assist the Program Chair and Program Chair-Elect in accomplishing these tasks. This is an exciting committee that requires a moderate amount of effort.
