AAPA Early Bird Meet and Greet

Start your conference day out with good food and good company! Come mingle with current, past, and emerging leaders of AAPA in a relaxed environment. The AAPA breakfast is an excellent networking opportunity for students and early career professionals. Come meet and greet to discuss your academic and career goals.

AAPA Lunch

We are convening discussion groups during the lunch hour to provide members more opportunities to network, connect, and discuss common interests and experiences. The discussion groups include divisions (DoS, DoW, and DoSAA), task forces (Social Justice, Practice, and Early Career), and an Asian American Journal of Psychology Information Lunch with the editorial team. Box lunches are available for purchase for those who are attending the groups and would like a lunch or for those who prefer not to go out for lunch. Please purchase a box lunch by July 22, 2009 if you would like a box lunch and please register and complete the Lunch Questions on the registration form if you are interested in attending one of the discussion groups.

AAPA Mentor and Mentee Reception

The AAPA Mentor-Mentee Reception allows students, young professionals, and more established faculty and mental health professionals to intentionally connect in a social hour setting. Students will be matched with professional members around various areas of interest or development, based on preferences indicated in the Reception Registration Form. If you are interested in attending this reception as either a mentor or mentee, please register and complete the Mentor-Mentee Reception Registration Form.
