Member Spotlight Nomination

The Membership Committee is pleased to announce we are bringing back the Member Spotlight feature that will be in the SCP newsletter, The Clinical Psychologist, and to the SCP website. Starting with the April newsletter, each quarter a member will be featured in a Member Spotlight. The goal of the Member Spotlight is to recognize SCP members’ accomplishments across all career stages, to highlight the diversity of our membership, and to help SCP members feel more connected by learning more about each other.

Please consider nominating someone! It is a great way for the nominee’s accomplishments to be recognized and to help our members know more about their fellow members. Please contact Central Office at division12apa@gmail.com with any questions. We are looking forward to receiving your nominations!

Sincerely,
David FitzGerald
Membership Committee Chair
