A working draft of the 2007 Progress Report of the APA Commission on Ethnic Minority Recruitment, Retention and Training 2 Task Force (CEMRRAT2) is available on-line at http://www.apa.org/pi/oema/programs/cemrrat_report.html.
The report, A Portrait of Success and Challenge, 1997-2005, provides an update on the demographics of ethnic minorities in the United States, and the status of ethnic minorities within APA and throughout psychology's education pipeline. It also reviews the efforts of APA entities and affiliated associations that support the implementation of the APA/CEMRRAT Plan to strengthen the multicultural competence of psychology professionals, and increase the number of minorities studying, researching and practicing psychology.
CEMRRAT2 encourages your comments and feedback, especially those regarding the Report's findings, recommendations, and strategic actions. We also welcome information on additional activities that are consistent with the APA/CEMRRAT Plan's objectives and goals (See APPENDIX C for the current list of activities). In doing so, please identify the specific objective and goal addressed.
Please submit your comments and feedback to the APA Office of Ethnic Minority Affairs on or before April 10, 2007. These may be sent by e-mail to oema@apa.org or by fax to 202-336-6040.
The Task Force will review and incorporate suggested changes and modifications, as appropriate, into the next version of the Progress Report. The CEMRRAT2 Task Force expects to present its Progress Report, including comments or feedback received, to the APA Board of Directors in June 2007, and to the Council of Representatives in August 2007.
