The California Psychological Association sponsored its annual Leadership and Advocacy Conference in Sacramento in the shadow of the state capitol building. This occurred from March 21-23, 2009

Most of the CPA’s 20+ chapters were represented by their President, President elect or the Governmental Affairs Chairperson (GAC).

Discussions were held amongst the chapter leaders and staff at the State CPA offices about the future of Psychology, about current problems and solutions.

The Director of Governmental Affairs, Amanda Levy shared her wisdom and experience on Capitol Hill and prepared the group to Lobby State Senators and Assembly persons on issues important to Psychologists.

Attendees had the pleasure of watching the ribbon cutting ceremony to the new and improved CPA office and then celebrated with great food, drinks and the staff of CPA.

By the end of lobby day you can be sure that the State Senators and Assembly people knew that many psychologists were in town and against losing our BOP.
