APA- June 3 is the deadline to submit a paper for the 2020 Central Division meeting.




Dear DAVID,


Paper submissions for the 2020 APA Central Division meeting in Chicago, IL opened on May 1, and will close on Monday, June 3, at 11:59 p.m. Central Time. All current APA members are eligible to submit a paper. Submission guidelines and information about graduate student stipends can be found on the APA website.
 
 
Only current members of the APA can submit a paper. If you are not a current member, you can join or renew your membership, and then submit your paper. Volunteers to chair sessions or comment on papers are welcome. Please bear in mind that there are many more volunteers than there are slots in the program, so volunteering does not guarantee that you will be asked to comment or chair. Note: all meeting participants, including presenters, commentators, and chairs, must register for the meeting.
 
If you have questions about the submission process, please contact me and I'll be happy to assist. We encourage authors to submit papers as soon as possible in order to avoid a rush in the final hours of submission—APA staff will not be available after 4 p.m. Central time on June 3 to answer questions.




Thank you,
 
Mike Morris
Deputy Director

MEMORIAL DAY. AMY KLOBUCHAR.

David,

Today I’ll join our military leaders, veterans and Gold Star families at Fort Snelling in Minnesota to remember those who laid down their lives for our country. This Memorial Day I hope you’ll join me in taking a moment to honor our fallen heroes.

We can never truly repay our debt to those brave servicemembers we honor today, but we owe it to their families to uphold their memory with dignity and to work together to become a country that lives up to our founding ideals.

I hope you will join me in honoring their sacrifice.

MEMORIAL DAY. JENNIFER BOYSKO.

Dear David,
Memorial Day is a time for remembering. We honor those in the Armed Forces who died fighting so that we can vote for our leaders, to protect our free press, and live in a secular government system. Many of you will visit lost relatives or others who served in the military at cemeteries in thanks for their sacrifice on this somber day. We have to remember what they fought for and do what we can ourselves to protect our freedoms.


We will succeed if we support each other. That’s why I decided to run for office and will run again this year. It is my way of fighting for this country. With many in government set on rolling back our human rights, we have to work even harder to protect the way our values play out in legislation.

Thank you and have a peaceful Memorial Day.

Kindest regards,
 - Sen. Jennifer Boysko
