Philosophers: If you've ever had a thought along the lines of "The APA should really do X," this is your moment. So much of what the APA does happens through the board and committees, and nominations are now open for seats starting next summer. Go nominate yourself and others!

Call for nominations: The 2024 Anthony J. Lisska Prize for Excellence in Research and Teaching at Small Liberal Arts Colleges. Deadline: October 15 apaonline.org/lisska

Reminder: The deadline to nominate qualified candidates for positions on APA committees, the board of officers, and the Graduate Student Council of the APA is October 31. Please take the time to nominate qualified candidates—perhaps yourself!—for these important positions. apaonline.org/page/nominatio…

Reminder: Nominations are open for APA leadership positions, including all committees, the APA board, and the Graduate Student Council of the APA. Self-nominations are welcome! apaonline.org/nominations

Many thanks to all the members of the APA board—those you see below and those you don't—for your hard work, careful deliberation, and commitment to serving the needs and priorities of all philosophers. It's an honor to serve alongside you at this crucial moment for our field.
