INFO: Introduction to COAD

Greetings,

Tim Wachtel, founder of the Center for Optimal Adult Development (COAD), has asked that I share the following information with our members. Here is the message he asked me to deliver:

Please take a few moments to visit the website for The Center for Optimal
Adult Development (www.optimaladult.org). They are a nonprofit in service to
all of us with interests in Adult Development. Their website contains
several free resources including a Book List, Online Articles,
Presentations, and more; all stored within the Knowledge Center section of
their website. Their purpose involves honoring all of the women & men who
have served the Adult Development profession over the past decades and to
share with practitioners of adult developmental services all of the

Dear Pat,

Per your suggestion, I am providing you a brief paragraph for you to post to
your listservs regarding COAD:

Tim, apologies for the delay. End of semester is always crazy, and Division
20 folks are still filtering back into the office.

I have shared information about COAD with some members of our Executive
Committee. Unfortunately, they agree with my initial assessment there
doesn't seem to be much of an avenue for shared ventures. As I read the
website, it is largely a series of subscription resources for paying
members/affiliates. There is certainly some good information to be had
th.ere, but I don't see much way that Division 20 as a group could
collaborate with you on these ventures.

What I can do is post a brief message from you to our listserv, inviting
members to visit your website. If you think that would be helpful, please
forward the paragraph to me and I will share it with our listmaster.

I'm sorry I can't be more positive about liaisons with Division 20, but do
wish you the best in this venture.

Regards,
Pat

Dear Pat,

It has now been one month since I sent you a proposal for opportunities to
partner/collaborate between our organizations; specifically COAD and APA.
Where do you stand on some of the ideas I suggested? Are you willing to move
forward or, at least, share a phone call?

Subject: RE: Introduction to COAD

Certainly. I appreciate the opportunity to elaborate. As you have already
seen by visiting our website, we are primarily a resource center for those
with interests in adult development; whether professor, practitioner,
scholar, general public, etc. We seek to help advocate the field by sharing
resources about AD throughout the world, by providing AD authors greater
visibility, and by helping to bridge the gap between research and practice.
Therefore, we are not limited to one organization, journal, theory,
practice, country, etc. We are a not-for-profit.

I suppose I viewed the mission of Div20 as being more than just lifespan
development, rather a mixture of educators and others with interests in AD
theory & practice; with particular emphasis on the aging component of AD.
Perhaps I have been off-base on this presumption. Still, my thoughts for the
past few yrs concerning collaboration between our orgs (also communicated to
last year's Div20 leadership) has been to form an alliance to better educate
individuals concerning evidence-supported adult development. There are, of
course, a multitude of various media channels in which this can occur.

One specific suggestion for partnership between our orgs is to involve you
in our service offerings we provide the AD community. I have a distribution
list of over 4500 individuals in the AD field who have written journal
articles pertinent to interdisciplinary topics in Adult Development. We keep
everyone up-to-date on the latest [open access] news, articles, papers,
presentations, blogs, etc introduced to our website for their own knowledge
and personal/career growth. This year, we also introduced several products
which have become quite popular. You may find them here:
http://www.optimaladult.org/index.cfm/knowledge-center/other-subscription-se
rvices/

You may find some of these products of interest, as might your Div20
members. Although, if your group is only interested in "lifespan
development", then it might be overkill for them. If you believe they would
be interested in any of the offerings, (1) we could possibly arrange a
partnership where Div20 Members automatically qualify for a xx% discount on
the products. Your members could also (2) write articles for our e-Magazine
we plan to have online next year, with an annotation of their affiliation
with APA. We could also assist you by (3) featuring any books, articles, or
papers written by your members; we would only request you to commit to
advertising your org name and logo with us. We currently have over 40
APA-published books on our website, (4) having APA assist in sponsoring our
Book List on our website would be nice. I would also like to also chat with
someone in your Public Advocacy division regarding partnering, (5) perhaps
you can provide a good contact source.

These are some random thoughts. I would appreciate your input as well.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim, thanks for your follow-up and apologies for the delay in responding. I
have visited your website, and guess that my first question is, how would
you see COAD partnering with Division 20? As you know, we are a fairly
loosely organized professional group comprising APA members with interest in
lifespan development. Your website seems quite interesting but I am not
sure how you would see our organization working with you. Can you elaborate
a little, please?

AWARDS: Call for nominations for Developmental Health Award (APA - Div 20 & 38)

The Aging and Health Committee of the American Psychological Association is soliciting nominations for the recipient of the 2013 Developmental Health Award, which will be given at the APA Convention. This award was established in 1996. Eight awards have been given: M. Powell Lawton (1997), Janice Kiecolt-Glaser (1999), Howard Leventhal (2001), Richard Schulz (2003), Karen Rook (2005), Ilene Siegler (2007), Margaret Gatz (2009), and Carolyn Aldwin (2011). This biennial award recognizes individuals who have made scholarly contributions to the fields of health and aging.

Members of Divisions 20 and/or 38 can nominate candidates for the award. Each nomination should be accompanied by a 100-200 word summary of the nominee's credentials, and reasons why the nominee should be recognized with this award. Nominations should be submitted to the Committee Chair, Cay Anderson-Hanley at andersoc@union.edu by February 22, 2013. Nominations and supporting summaries will be compiled and sent to members of the Aging and Health Committee. Members of the Committee will vote for the award recipient. When the recipient has been determined, an announcement will be sent to the listservs of Divisions 20 and 38. The recipient will give an invited address at the Award Ceremony at APA in Honolulu, August 2013.

We encourage you to submit nominations of worthy scholars whose work bridges the fields of health and aging.

INFO: FINAL NOTICE! The listserv is moving!

Greetings,

A month or so ago, we announced that this listserv will be migrating to an APA-sponsored group. Text of that message is reproduced below. This is an update and FINAL NOTICE that the new listserv will go live on
FEBRUARY 14, 2013 -- a week from this Thursday. Please be sure that your Division 20 membership is up to date in order to remain active on this very valuable group messaging system.

Here's the text of the original announcement:


Over the next few weeks, this listserv will migrate from the University of Florida to the APA servers. This will mean some changes for current listserv subscribers, so please take a moment to read over this email.

As you likely know, there is already an APA-sponsored listserv that is read-only for formal Division announcements. In addition, our Division Services rep, Chad Rummel, has kindly offered to take over management of this UFL-sponsored, informal listserv as well. Thus, we will continue to have TWO listservs: one for official announcements from the Division only, the other for informal information/interaction among members.

That last word is important: the new listserv will be *FOR DIVISION 20 MEMBERS ONLY.*

If your Division 20 membership is current, you need do nothing: you will be automatically enrolled in the new listserv when it moves over to APA. However, some subscribers to this listserv are *not* Division 20 members. If you'd like to continue participating in the listserv, you will need to join the Division, at our newly reduced rate of $20/year. Here are some links for your use in ensuring that you "stay with the group":

Become a Division 20 member (new members): http://memforms.apa.org/apa/cli/divapp/
Renew membership (current members): http://www.apa.org/membership/renew.aspx
Student and affiliate member renewals: http://memforms.apa.org/apa/cli/divapp/

This listserv is a great resource, and it has flourished under the mastery of Lise Abrams and, before her, Michael Marsiske . We look forward to lightening their load a bit, and to continuing to share information and ideas among our members.

If you have questions, please feel free to drop me a line.

Best,
Pat
