| Communications Director's Message |
 This issue of the APA Focus is focused on Research, one of our core missions including an update from the Research Committee and the announcement of new research awards. Remember the request for applications to the Young Investigator Awards will come later this summer.
The PAS workshop deadline has just passed but make sure you are on track for abstract submission to the Denver 2011 PAS meeting - November 17, 2010.
Abstract reviewers will be needed so please volunteer when the call goes out this fall. Better yet, work with a junior faculty member to help promote his or her career, or mentor someone who may not have done much reviewing. Both of you will gain in the process.

 Ensuring Your Voice Is Heard
Summer is usually a great time to relax. Pictures of beaches, playing in the pool, family vacations and lounging in a hammock while reading a good book come to my mind. But for those of us in academics, the new year and new trainees make for a busy time. Likewise, the APA leadership and membership have been quite busy over these summer months. As APA President I have been able to attend several fascinating meetings and wanted to update you about some of them. All of these meetings have been important to the vitality of our organization, the APA, and several have served as a mechanism for ensuring your voice is heard.

Message |
In my last newsletter article I discussed that the APA, in partnership with APPD, will hold its 4th Annual Leadership Conference on September 21-22, 2010. The topic of leadership is one that the APA has championed for several years.
So what is leadership? Can it be learned? Can it be taught? I must admit that I approached the topic of learning and teaching leadership skills with much skepticism. My role models for leadership were in fact, not in academics. They came from the literary and political spheres of life and articulated a clear vision of how the world needed to be and focused on issues of social justice and resisting oppression.
