APA cannot legally engage in any form of political campaign activity, even for candidates who support our initiatives. Yet if we are to build influence and convince Members of Congress to champion the issues on our advocacy agenda we must increase the visibility and influence of the psychology education and training community. Garnering champions in Congress is critical to efforts to expand on the Education Directorate’s earlier advocacy successes (i.e. Graduate Psychology Education funding through the Bureau of Health Professions and the inclusion of psychology in the National Health Service Corps), but it is extremely difficult to develop this level of support without the kind of coordinated effort allowed by a 501(c)(6) structure.
