Meet the Executive Board
Our Executive Officers comprise the student leadership of the Psychology Research Think Tank and make the day-to-day decisions that keep the club running.
Behind the scenes, the Think Tank faces various challenges that are expected of a typical student organization. Our talented Officers are there to tackle these challenges head-on so that members and researchers can suceed in the Think Tank.

How to Join the Executive Board
Like other UA student organizations, the Psychology Research Think Tank holds elections to fill vacancies in the Executive Board. We keep elections simple, and all members have voting rights. Click the link below to visit our mySOURCE, the location where we do our voting.
General Information
Executive Officers are only elected in the case of vacancies. Incumbent members of the Board only leave their posts upon graduation, resignation, or removal due to misconduct.
Members will be notified of upcoming vacancies when they present themselves, typically in March. After candidates have been identified, they will have a moment to present themselves to the club before voting opens.
After a set period, votes are tallied, and the winners are officially dubbed Officers, assuming their duties at the end of the semester.
mySOURCE
While not required for general membership, we strongly encourage members to apply for membership on the official mySOURCE page, as this is the only way you will be able to vote in elections.
To join the mySOURCE, simply visit the page and hit "request to join" and you will automatically gain membership.
