2019 Society Leadership Program

Dear ECP and Student Members: 

The Society for Military Psychology has a call for applicants to apply for the 2019 Society Leadership Program (SLP). The Society Leadership Program (SLP) is designed to inspire and develop our future leaders in military psychology. Participants will attend leadership training, receive mentoring, and complete a capstone leadership project related to the Society for Military Psychology (the Society) mission and current initiatives. Students in the SLP will teleconference into the 2019 Midyear Executive Committee (EXCOM) Meeting held in February 2019 (tentative), attend the 2019 American Psychological Association (APA) Convention, be provided readings and mentorship, with a focus on developing leadership potential in broadly defined diverse and global contexts. Outcomes of the leadership projects will be presented at the 2019 APA Annual Convention in Chicago, IL.  We expect graduates of SLP to make a commitment to future service on the Society committees and sections, as elected officers in the Society, and as leaders and advocates in a variety of positions in APA, their places of employment, and society at large.

We invite early career psychologists (ECP; 10 years or less since doctorate) and psychology doctoral students who are interested in and committed to leadership in the Society to apply for the SLP. To apply for the Leadership Academy, please submit the application materials to Dr. Maurice Sipos at maurice.sipos@gmail.com by November 30, 2018. 

Please see attached document for application requirements.
