Earlier this month the APA Nominating Committee announced that it has tapped APA Vice President Marcia Goin, M.D., of Los Angeles to compete against Chicago psychiatrist Sidney Weissman, M.D., in the 2002 race to become APA’s next president-elect.
Goin also chairs APA’s Committee on District Branch Relationships and is a member of the Committee on APA/Business Relationships and the Ad Hoc Committee to Develop Procedures for Revenue Sharing with the district branches. Weissman is an Illinois Psychiatric Society representative to the APA Assembly and a member of the Committee on Workforce Issues.
The election to succeed Goin as one of APA’s two vice presidents, one of which is elected each year, will pit Barry Chaitin, M.D., of Orange, Calif., Area 6 representative to the Assembly and chair of the Council on Healthcare Systems and Financing, against Steven Sharfstein, M.D., of Baltimore, vice chair of APA’s Committee on Reimbursement for Psychiatric Care and vice chair of the Joint Commission on Government Relations.
The position of APA treasurer is also up for election next year, and the candidates are the incumbent treasurer, Carol Bernstein, M.D., and Philadelphia psychiatrist Michael Vergare, M.D., chair of APA’s Committee on Medical Student Education.
Each year one of the Board’s three at-large positions comes up for election. Competing for that position in 2002 will be David Fassler, M.D., of Vermont, chair of the Council on Children, Adolescents, and Their Families and vice chair of the AMA’s Section Council on Psychiatry, and Herbert Peyser, M.D., of New York, who is completing a term as Area 2 Trustee and is a member of the Finance and Budget Committee.
Two of APA’s seven Areas will elect representatives in 2002. Richard Altesman, M.D., will vie with Ann Marie Sullivan, M.D., for Area 2 Trustee.
In Area 5 the current Trustee, Jack Bonner, M.D., of Greenville, S.C., is running for re-election, but at press time the nomination of a candidate to run against him was pending.
The election’s only three-way race is for the position of member-in-training trustee. The candidates are Angela D. Harper, M.D., of the University of South Carolina; Sonia G. Patel, M.D., of the University of Hawaii; and William C. Wood, M.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital.
Election ballots will be mailed to all voting members on January 7 and must be returned by February 7. Candidates’ biographies and statements will be published in the December 7 issue of Psychiatric News. ▪
