It was wonderful to see so many of you in San Francisco. At convention, I had the honor and privilege of presenting awards to SPTA leaders and advocates and I was incredibly encouraged by the work that these leaders are doing on behalf of the profession. Congratulations to all of the award recipients.

Monica Kurylo, PhD, a member of Divs. 31 and 38, recently was appointed to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. She has excelled throughout her career. This interview highlights her career as well as changes in health care as she sees it. She offers guidance to students and early career psychologists about how to move into leadership positions.

Membership in Div. 31 has many benefits and include working with SPTAs to advance the profession and to promote the highest standards of ethics, accesssing the division’s email list which allows you to network with members and discuss issues of concern to students, and obtaining mentorship and opportunities for entry into APA governance.
