Fellowship

AGPA Distinguished Fellows and Fellows

Fellowship in AGPA is an honor that indicates a member’s outstanding professional competence of leadership capacity.

Fellows represent in a visible way the highest quality of the Association. The Fellowship and Awards Committee considers five areas of activity and expects candidates to have shown excellence in leadership in at least two; one of which is leadership in AGPA, the Affiliate Societies and/or other group psychotherapy-related organizations.
