Proposed Name Change

A name change has been proposed for the 2005 election year. The new name would be American Psychics Society, a name that the majority of members would prefer according to a recent APS poll. The proposition will be voted on at the next APS election, which occurs online from June 15 until September 1. Only APS members can vote on the proposed name change.
