 Dear Society Membership:
The Society for Military Psychology is currently accepting proposals for the Regional Symposia Series highlighting Military Psychology. Having a symposium in your area is a way to network, mentor, and learn about current research and practices in our field. Please see the attached Request for Proposals for Military Psychology Regional Symposia Series (RSS) 2019 that is due on October 15, 2018. Additionally attached is an example of potential topics for the RSS. In order to better serve those that are interested in writing a proposal, we are offering a Q & A session at 9:00 AM HT/ 12:00 PT/ 1:00 MT/ 2:00 CT/ 3:00 CT/ 9:00 Europe (France) on Friday, October the 5th. The conference call in number is External Dial: 303-871-4777 or Toll Free Dial: 1-866-807-0128 and Meeting Number (passcode): 14930. Please address any questions about the application process and/or the regional conference series to Dr. Kathryn Barrs (email: Kathryn.Barrs@du.edu, or, phone: (303)-871-4930). Sincerely, Stephen Stephen V. Bowles, Ph.D., ABPP President-Elect, Division 19 The 2019 Call for Proposals is open at convention.apa.org. Additional information is also available on our division website at https://www.militarypsych.org/convention-home.html. In particular, collaborative programming is due October 12th. Collaborative programs involve multiple APA divisions and cut across multiple areas of psychology. They involve coordination with APA division programming chairs. So far, we have been approached on topics related to: non-residential parents, cognitive resilience/wellness programming, neuroscience/organizational consulting. If you have other ideas, please let the 2019 Convention Chair, Ryan Landoll (rlandoll@alumni.unc.edu) know and he will work with you to build a team. Please review and consider a submission on the topics above or others. Collaborative programming has a requirement for being broad cross cutting topics involving work across several divisions. Thus, our leadership is probably well poised to submit. If you have questions, please let me know!  Dear Society Membership:

Fact Sheet Regarding Policy Prohibiting Healthcare to Detainees from Division 19 Past-President8/5/2018 As some of you may know, APA's Council of Representatives will be deciding, during the Convention in San Francisco, whether or not to change the policy that currently prohibits military psychologists from providing healthcare to detainees. We have developed the attached fact sheet that addresses many of the myths and misconceptions that have been swirling about regarding this item. I encourage you to read the fact sheet and to share it as you feel appropriate - to your state associations, other APA divisions to which you may belong, and all other interested parties.
