Call for Proposals

Division Marketing Toolkit

As a Division program chair, you know that great programming starts with great proposals. Use this toolkit to spread the word about the APA 2025 Call for Proposals to your members and affiliates. Feel free to use these materials however you see fit: cut and paste, mix and match phrases, or go in a totally different direction!

REMINDER: Sometimes, a personal email or post can be as effective as mass marketing—or even more effective. Everyone has a role to play in getting the word out. Ask your division leadership to send personal invitations and post to their personal social media accounts. Use every network you can. APA 2025 is your division's time to shine!
