When I became Co-chair of Division 31 Diversity Committee, Dr. Hollister, a member of the Executive Board for Division 31, emerged as a crucial support and collaborator in revitalizing the Diversity Committee. Together we co-founded and co-chaired a network that facilitated the exchange of best practices and success stories of over 40 state psychological associations.

Dr. Hollister’s inclusive and forward-thinking approach will be an asset to APA. He is a dedicated leader and advocate for psychology, with a vision for the field's future.

Chuck’s experience and knowledge regarding APA governance and the issues that currently face psychology are unparalleled. His commitment to draw APA closer to the day-to-day needs of its members illustrates his responsiveness and concern for the concerns of professional psychologists in general. Chuck is hardworking, collegial in his professional relationships and is consistently supportive and kind in recognizing the contributions of others with whom he works. These qualities and his strong leadership abilities are why I support Chuck for the presidency of APA.
