Dear Dr. Adams:

I appreciate your interest in membership issues at this past weekend's Division Leadership Conference.I have requested counts of types of subscribers to the journals you mentioned.These counts should be available in about three days.

I have requested counts of individual journal subscribers by type: members of Division 40, other APA members who are not members of D40, and non-APA individuals. These counts will be done for Behavioral Neuroscience, Neuropsychology, and Psychological Assessment.

Also, enclosed for your information is the Division 40 membership profile that we have on hand at this time.

I enjoyed talking with you about the Division's specific membership-related issues. We covered a lot of ground and there are many options for you to consider. Please be sure to contact Sarah Jordan in Division Services or me if there is something further that we can do to assist you and the Division.

Sincerely,

Pat K. Miyamoto
Sr. Director
