Practice Leadership Conference (PLC) 2022 went virtual in order to protect attendees from the untimely March COVID-19 surge. Due to this change, the early career psychologist (ECP) specialized programming was cancelled; however, stay tuned for some very exciting news about specialized programming for ECPs during APA conference week! Despite the virtual format, PLC did not disappoint! The session aimed at "Using Foresight to Build Resilience and Agility in Uncertain Times" focused on using our inherent skills and abilities as psychologists to cope with our current uncertain lives. I personally found the "Inclusive Leadership: Translating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion into Understandable Language and Action Steps" session incredibly helpful. As a leader, I am always searching for education around how to focus on and invest in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and very much appreciated the concrete and inspiring actions outlined in the session.
In addition to programming at PLC, the Committee on Early Career Psychologists was able to meet live and in-person at the APA spring consolidated meeting! We used the time wisely and, aside from getting to know one another in-person, we planned, collaborated, and organized our efforts for this year. We are focused on highlighting the work of diverse ECPs in a variety of different ways—again, please look out for some exciting developments in this area, coming soon!
