Nicholas Pejic, an LSU/Ochsner resident and an
LPMA member was elected Member-in-Training
Deputy Representative to Area V of APA. Area V is
comprised of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and the Society
of Uniformed Services Psychiatrists. His election is
quite an honor for him and for LPMA. After a year as
Deputy Representative, he will become Representative
for another year. 
Each year APA District Branches are asked to nominate
up to two of its members who demonstrated
care and understanding to victims of disasters. There
were many LPMA members who deserved to be
nominated, but LPMA finally narrowed it down to
three, Harold Ginzburg, David Post and Jeffrey
Rouse. 
All three received the Bruno Lima Award.
The selection was made by the APA Committee on
Psychiatric Dimensions of Disaster. Other winners
were two from New Jersey, two from the Washington,
D.C. area, two from Michigan and one each from
Wisconsin, Orange County (CA), the Uniformed
Services, Massachusetts and Connecticut..
[
At the end of the APA meeting in May, Dr. Daphne
Glindmeyer assumed the presidency of LPMA. Dr.
Glindmeyer has served LPMA as Secretary and
Parliamentarian. She was co-chair of the Child and
Adolescent Committee. She received her medical
degree from the LSU Medical School in New
Orleans and subsequently completed a residency in
psychiatry and fellowships in both Child Psychiatry
and Forensic Psychiatry at LSU. Dr. Glindmeyer is
ABPN certified in both General and Child Psychiatry
and has added qualifications in Forensics. She is currently
the medical director of West Jefferson Medical
Center Behavioral Medicine Center. [
