The APSR is pleased to announce several new openings for APSR Assembly leadership, which present excellent opportunities for you to network with other members and societies from around the world and gain experience in the APSR educational activities in addition to APSR Congress issues.
As you know, each Assembly is led by a troika structure composed of a Head, Head-Elect and Deputy Head. Some Assemblies also have Sections which have a Section Leader. Each position is held for two years and there are now several vacancies.
We invite you to apply, or nominate another Assembly member, for one of the Deputy Head positions or the Section Leader position, by using the form linked below.
The application deadline is 28 February 2023.

*The Deputy Head position for the Clinical Respiratory Medicine Assembly is not open to members from Hong Kong. (From November 2023, the Head and Head-Elect of that Assembly are from Hong Kong, therefore the new Deputy Head must be from a different country/region.)
The new Deputy Heads will serve for two years from the close of the APSR 2023 Singapore Congress until the close of the APSR 2025 Manila Congress.
Any APSR Ordinary member can apply, or nominate another member to apply, for an open Deputy Head position in their Assembly.
Any APSR Ordinary member or Associate member can apply, or nominate another member to apply for the Section Leader position of the Clinical Allied Health Section. The Section Leader shall be an Associate member or an Ordinary member. Honorary members and Undergraduate Student members cannot apply or nominate another member.
Assembly troika leaders (Head, Head-Elect and Deputy Head) may not serve concurrently as a Section Leader.
Applicants are required to:
28 February 2023: Close of the Application period
10-21 March 2023: Voting period (if an election is required)
Late March: Announcement of new Deputy Heads and Section Leader
