APA Executive Director, David Schrader, has informed the Board of Officers that he will retire from the Executive Director position effective October 2, 2012, the day after his 65th birthday. He will give a more detailed statement in his “Letter from the Editor” in the November issue of the Proceedings. The Board of Officers will be developing a search process in the very near future.

Attempt to submit application via APA website. Anyone who succeeds, gets the job.
"the day after his 65th birthday"
Who fucking cares?
Here's hoping they take this opportunity to hire a competent, responsible, professional administrator, who is capable of leading the Central Office out of its dysfunction and denial.
The national APA is almost ungovernable, and the rapid succession of executive directors (and some unhappy departures) underscores the problems.
Unlike most other professional organizations, APA has three strongly independent divisions, with control over their own budgets and many different policies and procedures. Trying to oversee all three is a nightmare.
Let's hope the national Board is able to find someone willing and able to take this on. Unless and until the three division are willing to go back to square one and redesign the structure of this organization, I'm not optimistic that things will improve, regardless of who serves as ED.
Everything 1:22 says seems right, but at the same time its hard to see how it explains the situation, for example, with the APA website. Responsibility for that would appear to fall squarely on the ED and the Central Office.
