SCP ANNOUNCEMENTS
     

Training & Development Committee
Co-Chairs: Scott Serviss and Natalie Monarch Baumgartner

The SCP Education and Training Committee focuses on providing educational and professional development opportunities in Consulting Psychology for SCP members and other psychology professionals with an interest in this arena.

We are celebrating the success of the 2006-2007 Distance Learning Series (DL), which offers Consulting Psychology educational/development teleconference seminars to all levels of consultants - from entry level to senior. The DL program's success will help SCP to provide additional educational programs for our members and many thanks go to all of our esteemed presenters who make this program possible!

Thank you to Dr. Harry Levinson who is conducting the fourth series of a Mentoring Teleconference for new consultants. Over the past 2 years, Dr. Levinson, in partnership with the Education and Training Committee, has graciously provided 3 rounds of six monthly case-study conference calls for "green" consultants for no fee. We greatly appreciate Dr. Levinson's valuable contribution and also offer many thanks to T&D committee member, Patrick Perkins, for his coordinating efforts. Please contact Patrick directly for more information psp9001@med.cornell.edu on the next round which starts in January 2008.

We are thrilled to announce the addition of a monthly Mid-Level/Senior Mentoring Group for mid-late career consultants. Jim Kestenbaum, Ph.D. is facilitating this program. Please contact him directly for additional information including dates, fees etc. drjim@tsgdrjim.com.

Our SCP Regional Networking Program has started off with a bang. Patrick Perkins has facilitated several gatherings in the New York/New Jersey region and Ann Hammond has facilitated a program in the Virginia/Washington D.C. area. This program allows members of Division 13 to gather informally and network through out the year. We look forward to expanding these opportunities into other areas across the country. Please contact Natalie nbaumgartner@somervillepartners.com or Scott sserviss@aol.com if you would like to host an informal event in your area.

 

Member-at-Large Update
Reported by Virginia Mullin

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for my honor of being given the SCP Service Award in San Francisco. It has been a pleasure working with all of you and for our Division. Now, I would like to commend other members of our organization who continue efforts on our behalf. Hats off to APA Council member Dr.Sandra Shullman, who continues to work on Norman Anderson's Strategic Planning Advisory Committee (chaired by Dr. Rodney Lowman). Starting in December, she will chair a work group on what APA's role should be in the development of international quality standards for psychology.

Dr. Dan Fisher continues to contribute to our website development and said that they currently are fine-tuning the system by "working the bugs out." Dr. Karen Wilson-Starkes has volunteered to expand the role of Public Relations Chair for SCP and has ideas on increased interaction with other divisions and organizations. If anyone has an interest in working with Karen on this initiative, please contact me and you will be most welcome to join us.

Otherwise, initiatives such as The Psychologically Healthy Workplace Awards are moving along nicely. National awards will be presented in Washington in March and voting will be taking place soon for the winners. On a final note, we are happy that Stewart has ideas on re-organizing the structural chart of roles for SCP, which should increase our efficiency as well as clarity in what is expected of us.

Graduate Student Update
Reported by Nicole A Bryan

Calling All Graduate Student Members:

Are you looking to make some professional connections? Are you eager to learn how you can apply everything you've been learning in the classroom? Then be sure to join us at our upcoming midwinter conference in February. Student registration fees have been significantly reduced so no more excuses! And we've planned an array of events specifically for you!! These include the Division's first research poster session, a panel internship discussion, a forum for new professionals breaking into the field, endless opportunities to network with other students and professionals, and much more!

Applications for the poster session are still being accepted. Contact Steve Kincaid at stevekincaid@mindspring.com if you're interested in participating.

See you in February!

Continuous Education Committee
Reported by Carol Jenkins

The Continuous Education Committee works closely with the Division 13 board members and APA to ensure that members are providing with high quality continuous learning opportunities.

Each year at the Mid-winter conference and at the APA annual conference, we provided many CE opportunities. For example, psychologists can receive up to 27.75 hours for attending the Mid-Winter conference and the pre/post conferences.


SPIM Conference
Reported by Stewart Cooper

In 2009, SCP and SPIM (the Society for Psychologists in Management) will hold overlapping conferences due to their commonalities of interest. Many SCP members will find their programming to be of value. The following briefly describes their annual 2008 conference which takes place three weeks subsequent to the SCP Midwinter Conference. The 2008 SPIM Conference and Institutes, which has the Conference Theme, Managing and Leading: The role of the setting and organizational situation, will take place from February 28 - 2 March in San Antonio, Texas. The conference is targeted to psychologist managers for whom leadership is key to success or for whom helping others enhance their leadership skills is a priority. Dick Kilburg will kick off the main conference the evening of Thursday, 28 February with a session focused on learning about the new attendees as well as on touching base with returning SPIM members. The formal conference sessions begin Friday morning, 29 February. The current President, John Bruckman, will begin the conference with his presidential address which will focus on managing through times of organizational change. The conference will also feature a special session on managing in differing environments, including professional associations, health care, academia, and consulting. Substantial CE credit is possible.
