The president and members-at-large of the board of directors are members of the association elected by a preferential ballot by the voting members of the association; the recording secretary and treasurer are elected by a preferential ballot by the voting members of council. All members of the board of directors are also members of the council of representatives. The board of directors meets in person approximately four times a year, in addition to bi-monthly meetings by video. All voting board members are independent except two. The board of directors is the administrative agent of council, supervises the work of the chief executive officer of the association, and exercises general supervision over the affairs of the association. In the interval between the annual meetings of the council, the board of directors has authority to take such actions as are necessary for the conduct of the association's affairs in accordance with the bylaws and the policies of council. If an emergency is declared by a majority of the board of directors, the board has the power to take actions as though such actions were taken by the council.”

“The organization has a conflict of interest policy governing its council of representatives and board of directors. Each year new apa council and board members receive training from apa's office of general counsel regarding apa's conflict of interest policy, how to identify a conflict of interest and how to handle possible conflicts of interest when they arise. In addition each year all governance members receive an educative set of materials regarding conflicts of interest and self evaluation worksheets to test awareness. Each governance member is required to complete a written affirmation that they will abide by the conflict of interest policy and to disclose interest or relationships that may pose conflicts. At each meeting of the council, all members are reminded that they are subject to the conflict of interest policy, which is printed in the association rules and posted on apa's website. All apa employees are required to sign a staff conflict of interest certificate annually where they disclose any potential or actual conflicts for review and approval or denial by senior management in consultation with the office of general counsel.”

“The apa is governed by a council of representatives comprised of 180 voting members that meets twice a year, and its smaller 16 member board of directors. The board of directors sets compensation for senior management under a compensation policy. The full board sets compensation for the deputy ceo (dceo) and the chief financial officer (cfo), based on, among other things, comparability data from an independent compensation consultant, performance measures, and a review for reasonableness. For compensation of association senior executives other than the dceo and cfo, the ceo makes compensation recommendations to the personnel and compensation committee (pcc) of the board of directors based primarily on performance and comparability data. In addition the pcc reviews, on behalf of the board, the contract period and compensation for any other key employees of the association as defined in the instructions to the 990. Confidential contemporaneous minutes of the deliberations and decisions of the board and pcc are securely maintained. The board leaders receive honoraria for service on the board. These honoraria are established by the council of representatives and set out in the council of representatives ed spending policy" guidelines. The board of directors does not have a role in reviewing, setting, or recommending the amount of its own honoraria. Council members do not receive honoraria.”
