In just a few short weeks, you will be joining your colleagues from the American Psychological Association in Orlando for the 120th Annual APA Convention. As final touches are placed on the convention program, you are probably starting to develop your schedule to maximize your professional development and networking time.
Many divisions provide additional programming through hospitality suites or social hours. While not listed in the official convention program, much of this programming is open to current and potential division members—including you. And while the Convention Program is the official guide to convention, these division schedules may help you navigate the convention in Orlando.
I encourage you to take a few moments to browse the division programming schedules to find additional time to network with your colleagues. Each can be downloaded (to a computer, tablet or smart phone) or printed separately at http://www.apa.org/convention/programming/divisions/index.aspx.
Finally, if there's a division you've been thinking about joining, please stop by the Division Services booth in the Member Resource center at convention. If you join a division in the booth, you'll be entered for a chance to win an iPod Nano or iPad. Even if you don't win, you might find your next professional home, and we're sure you'll walk away feeling like a STAR!
If you've already found your professional home and aren't looking to join another Division, you should still stop by our booth and tell us "Why You LOVE Your Division." I'm sure your response will help "LIGHT up our day" AND yours!
See you in Orlando!
Best,
Chad
