Greetings Colleagues!
It is with pleasure that I write you to introduce myself as the new President of SAPA. I have been a part of the board for the past two years and am excited to be continuing to serve in this capacity. I will strive to work towards assisting the board in serving you, our community of Southern Arizona psychologists, towards enhancement of community and professionalism. My hope is that I can bring to the table increased communication between members and the board so that we may better serve your needs and wishes.
As some of you may know, SAPA has been undergoing an evolutionary process as we advance as professionals and psychologists in the 21st century world. We have incorporated more communication via email and enhanced the capacity of our webpage to include a search function for referrals for our SAPA members as well as a calendar of events. We not only have SAPA sponsored events on the calendar, but are incorporating any local CE events that our members share with us.
The year ahead has also been scheduled with many CE events, from SAPA luncheons to “Back to School.” I know our committees have been working diligently to plan events that meet licensure criteria in a dynamic and timely manner based on your feedback and interests.
There are a number of other exciting prospects for change and advancement on the table and we hope to obtain your feedback so we, as your board representatives, can make educated choices. We hope that the changes will serve to enhance your experience as a psychologist and is in keeping within the spirit of the SAPA Mission Statement: “To outreach and support all Southern Arizona psychologists and engender a sense of community and cohesiveness.”
Thanks for your participation in our evolutionary journey. I look forward to seeing what this year has in store!
Sincerely,
Holly Jindrick, Psy.D.
SAPA President 2012
