Thank you for partnering with the American Psychological Association (APA) to meet with your member of Congress or their district staff. You are following in the footsteps of a select group of psychological scientists we have asked to work with APA to advocate for behavioral science. Now that you have completed your visit, the next step is to please take a few minutes to complete this form, ideally soon after your visit.

The information you continue to provide to APA allows us to maximize the benefits of your experience and knowledge, and thus inform our ongoing advocacy efforts. Thank you very much for your time and your continued contribution to psychological science.
