Good question! I don’t believe I have directly considered adult development and aging in my agenda. That doesn’t
mean it has no place in my work, however. In my responses to questions from other Divisions and related units, I
have noted a strong desire to focus on membership recruitment and retention. I see the Divisions as crucial to any
membership project because psychologists seem to be most loyal to their primary interest areas. The leadership of
a Division may be the “friendly face” that convinces students and early career psychologists to join the Association.
In turn, Divisional loyalty may be instrumental in convincing senior members to remain involved with both the
Division and the greater Association. So, my agenda will include working with your Division, among others, on the
membership issue
