Officers

APSR Officers include the positions shown below and also the Chairpersons of APSR Permanent Committees.

The years shown below do not always mean from 1 January to 31 December. Members start and end their appointments at various times throughout the calendar year; quite often coinciding with the annual congress, and therefore the years shown are the congress years. For example 2020-2021 means from the end of the 2019 Congress to the end of the 2021 Congress.
