At its meeting last month, APA’s Board of Trustees appointed Donald G. Langsley, M.D., John S. McIntyre, M.D., Altha J. Stewart, M.D., and Howard Mudd to three-year terms as members of the Board of Directors of the American Psychiatric Foundation. Steven B. Davidson, R.Ph., was reappointed for a three-year term.

Langsley served as APA president for the 1980-81 term. He is now a consultant to the APA Ethics Committee and chair of the APA Elections Oversight Board. He is also a professor emeritus of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University School of Medicine.

McIntyre is the chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral health for the Unity Health System in Rochester, N.Y. He is also a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and chair of the department of psychiatry at St. Mary’s Hospital and Park Ridge Hospital, also in Rochester. McIntyre was president of APA for the 1993-94 term and now chairs the APA Steering Committee on Practice Guidelines.

Stewart is executive director of the Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Agency, where she oversees a $500 million program providing mental health and developmental services in the Detroit-Wayne County area. She is chair of the APA Council on Psychiatric Services and a member of the APA Committee on Public and Community Psychiatry. She is also the president of the Black Psychiatrists of America.

Mudd, as a primary caregiver for a relative suffering from a mental illness, brings a consumer’s perspective to the foundation’s board. He is the offensive line coach of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts football team. His seven-year playing career with the San Francisco 49ers and the Chicago Bears included three Pro Bowl starts and two elections to the All-NFL first team.

Davidson joined the Foundation’s Board in 1994. He has held numerous positions in both marketing and education at Eli Lilly and Company. He is now head of continuing medical education, where he oversees Lilly’s medical education programs. According to Steve Rubloff, executive director of the foundation, Davidson has been an important advocate of the foundation’s mission to promote quality professional education in psychiatry and was instrumental in acquiring the funding to support the Daniel X. Freedman Congressional Fellowships.
