​MELINDA L. YOUNG, MD, DLFAPA
​CANDIDATE, 2019
​AREA 6 (CALIFORNIA) TRUSTEE

​AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION
Picture
Being an effective Area 6 Trustee is like being a good cook - it takes more than following a recipe.

​Experience Matters!​


I know what members want and need from their membership in the APA.

 From long experience
- with District Branches, State Associations, and the APA itself -
I know how to get it done,
either through existing channels or, when necessary,
by effectively challenging the system.

                                               ​I am a tireless advocate for members.
                                                ​I'm not afraid of taking a controversial stand in my advocacy for members.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION

The APA is a not-for-profit corporation and membership organization of approximately 37,000 members, divided into 72 District Branches and 2 State Associations.
