The APA Annual Convention is just around the corner and the Early Career Professionals (ECP) Committee is looking forward to seeing many of your there. We hope you can join us for the ECP social hour Friday, Aug. 10 from 5- 7:00 p.m. at Novela (662 Mission Street – just a few minutes’ walk from convention). We have partnered with the Section on Child Maltreatment for the event. There will be light snacks and a free drink for the first 40 attendees.
The committee is currently working on how to bolster engagement in the division, provide more resources to ECPs and increase our social media presence. In this edition of “The Advocate,” we have a spotlight on one of our ECP Committee members, Sonia Rubens. We hope to continue spotlighting our ECPs in the coming months, so if you have a colleague or would want to nominate yourself for the spotlight, please let us know.
In the coming weeks, we will also send a survey for members to complete about their mentorship needs. Please fill this out so we can match mentors and mentees in the division. If you have any questions or suggestions for how to better serve our ECP members, please let me know. I hope to see you on Aug. 10.
