APA is pleased to share its official Position Specification for the APA CEO Search.
This job description is based on several weeks of effort combining the input from a wide range of groups. The description has undergone a series of rigorous steps overseen by the Search Committee which included face-to-face meetings with the Search Committee and Korn Ferry staff, with members of the Board and Council Leadership Team (CLT), and surveys of 14 groups (with 138 responses), including members of the APA Board, CLT, Council of Representatives, APA Executive Management Group, APA Boards and Committees, division and SPTA leaders, and samples of APA staff and members. A proposed final draft of the Position Specification was then reviewed by the Search Committee, the Board, members of CLT, and Korn Ferry staff before being finalized.
We hope that you will consider making nominations of qualified candidates for this important position. If you have any questions on the search or nomination processes please send them to AEP@APA.org and rllowman@gmail.com or to Lorraine Lavet, from Korn Ferry, at Lorraine.lavet@kornferry.com.
