Election results were announced April 26, 2004, at the APA National Planning Conference in Washington, D.C. The winners took office on June 7, 2004. The names of the candidates who were recommended here appear in bold face. Judging by the closeness of several races, it is clear that every vote counts.
Next Election: Spring 2006. To run, even by petition, you must submit yourself to the nominating committees. Under the new bylaws, only those member who submit themselves to the nominating committees and are not chosen can run by petition (sounds strange, but true).
