For the 23rd year, PSW presents the Annual Legislative Brunch. This is your chance to participate in bringing issues of importance to our patients to the attention of state and local legislators. No prior experience necessary, but it is vital to demonstrate our commitment and concerns. Besides that, there is a fine hot breakfast cooked to order. Crown Plaza, White Plains, 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. RSVP before 12/7 to centraloffice@wpsych.org or call (914) 967-6298

It’s 1775 again. Taxation without representation. The APA Board is considering a proposal to cut the Assembly budget by 45% or $400,000. This could leave all the APA power in the hands of the elite and insulated Board of Directors, and cripple the ability of the membership to influence policy. Now is the time to email all the Board Members before they vote in a policy that could disenfranchise the membership. Go to BOARD for a block of email addresses of board members.
