CPA 2018 Convention San Diego Taskforce Updates

CPA 2018 CONVENTION

BY: Joel Lazar, Ph.D. and Janet Farell, Ph.D.
DATE: 3/16/18
CALIFORNIA PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (CPA)
POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (PAC)

As two of 9 California Psychological Association-Political Action Committee (CPA-PAC) Trustees, we are responsible for helping to spread the word about the importance of supporting legislators who are sympathetic to the rights of psychologists and the community.  Legislators determine our scope of practice, licensing laws, the availability of our services and even whether a Board of Psychology exists.  We want to thank those who have donated previously to the PAC, and remind you that this can be done at any time through the CPA website.    

This year’s CPA convention will occur in SAN DIEGO, and the primary CPA-PAC fundraiser is a dinner that will occur during the convention on Friday, April 27.  Trustees are being asked to try to sell 10 tickets each at $250.  If you are attending the convention, please consider supporting the PAC by buying a ticket.  To support the PAC, many members who were not planning to attend the dinner made donations towards a ticket so that a Student or Early Career member who is attending the convention could attend the dinner at a reduced rate or free.  For every 5 people who donate $50 we can invite someone who otherwise couldn’t afford to attend.  You may be contacted individually, but I hope you will proactively participate as generously as you can.  You can buy a ticket at the CPA website, but donations towards tickets need to be made by personal check made out to “CPA-PAC” and mailed to Joel at 1267 Rosecrans Street, #E SD,CA 92106.  Please contact Janet at janetafarell51@gmail.com or Joel atdoctorj7989@gmail.com  with any questions.  Thanks for considering donating.
