Governance
SIOP is governed by the elected members of the Executive Board. They meet three times a year: April, September, and January. They are joined at the April meeting by all of the committee chairs, both incoming and outgoing. In September and January they include selected committee chairs in their meetings.
Nomination and Election
SIOP issues a call for nominations every year in the fall to Fellows and Members (PhD level). Ballots are then distributed in early December to the same voting Members and Fellows. The following officers have these terms:

Apportionment
SIOP Members and Fellows who are also members of APA receive an apportionment ballot each year. Each voting member has 10 votes to delegate to the various APA divisions. If you are a member of APA, we urge you to give all 10 of your votes to Division 14 to maintain SIOPs visibility on the APA Council of Representatives. We need a strong presence on the Council to protect the concerns of I-O psychologists and other scientist practitioners.
Committees
The President appoints the chairs and approves the membership in all standing SIOP committees. Ethnic, racial, geographical, and gender diversity is encouraged on all committees. Most committees form in the spring but you may submit a committee volunteer form at any time. The SIOP Administrative Office will keep your form on file until the committees reform. The next page lists the Executive Board members as well as the committee chairs.
