The APA Board of Directors consists of six members-at-large and six officers — the president-elect, president, past president, treasurer, recording secretary and CEO. The chair of the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students (APAGS) serves as an additional member. Much like any corporate board, it oversees the association’s administrative affairs and, with the advice and assistance of the Finance Committee, presents an annual budget for approval by the Council of Representatives.
