Election Results
The results of the elections for officers who begin their terms in 2015 are:
- President: Frank Farley
- Secretary: Caitlin Mahoney
- Membership Chair: Henriette Warfield
- Council Representative: Eduardo Diaz
- Member-at-Large: Serdar Degirmencioglu
Congratulations to all; the division appears to be in good hands for a bright future.
To those who weren't elected (who would also have put the division in good hands!), we are grateful that you served by running, and look forward to your continued contributions.
When he becomes Past President next year, Brad Olson will be in charge of the nominating committee for officers who start in 2016. I encourage people to think about what offices they might like to serve in and let Brad know. The
nominating process can be long and involved, so any easing of it by someone offering to run is a big help.
Signing off of this year's Nominating Committee,
Rachel MacNair, Chair

Division 48 Endorses "Taking a Stand Against Racism: A Time to Act."
Message from Dr. Kathleen Dockett, Division 48 Representative to APA Council
Dear Members of the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict, and Violence,
Our Executive Board and many of our members have endorsed the statement "Taking a Stand Against Racism: A Time to Act." Written by Psychologists Dr. Helen Neville and Dr. Beth Rom-Rymer for the APA Ethnic Minority Caucus, the statement addresses the case of Trayvon Martin and the murder of boys and men of color in the United States. You will find the statement posted below along with the list of Division 48 endorsers. I also call your attention to the excellent special issue on the Trayvon Martin case in the Journal of Social Action in Counseling and Psychology (2013).
I appreciate you all for sending a clear message that Peace Psychology does not condone and will not tolerate ethnocide in its variant contemporary forms of structural and direct violence, ranging from Stop and Frisk policies, Stand Your Ground laws, to other indirect and direct forms of racial profiling, to the negative racial stereotyping and micro-aggressions that assault the psychological and physical health and well being of boys and men of color (of course, girls and women of color are included).
