100% agree if we do not put our individual differences aside and rally around a cause.
I've heard for years how dysfunctional APA is and that they can never agree on anything. Three national officers, 22 Board members and every committee chairman finally does (doesn't matter how long it took them to agree they all finally did) and the rank-and-file can't even support them.
All this showed me was it's not the institution of APA. It's not the APA leaders. It's the members of APA that are the failure.
