Steve Duncan

My name is Steve Duncan and I am run-

the upcoming 2017 election. Many of
you know me as the guy who helps
with presentations at APA Seminars,
presents training at APA annual, re-
gional and state seminars and assists
examiners in resolving problems with
pre-employment and other testing.
I have been allowed this opportunity
to share with you other qualifications
which I would like you to consider
when you cast your vote. I have served
the APA previously and currently as a
Board Member and previously as Vice
President for Law Enforcement. Hav-
ing served on the APA board for many

of the organization. I am a graduate
of the Department of Defense Poly-
graph Institute and have participated
in numerous continuing education
seminars ranging from Sex Offend-
er Training to Courtroom Testimony
to Quality Control. I retired from the
