| Abstract: | Presents the First Report to the Council of Representatives From The Commission on Composition of Council. This an edited copy of the September 1966 report to the American Psychological Association Council of Representatives from our Commission. Comments relating to matters other than composition of the Council of Representatives have been deleted. The 12 members of the Commission are named at the end of this report. The Commission was appointed by Nicholas Hobbs in May 1966, at the recommendation of the Council of Representatives. During Council's spring meeting, extensive discussions were held on the problem of the composition of Council. The Commission was charged with recommending changes in the method of electing members to Council and we were given a number of guidelines by Council to follow in our deliberations. The Commission met during the spring and summer and discussed the problem of the governing structure of the Association and drafted the enclosed document. It is not a final proposal, but should serve as a basis for approaching the problem. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
