We've just received the results of the APA Council of Representatives
election. We will have two new council reps: Rich Klimoski and Mike
Campion. I'm very pleased to have both of them representing the Society. I'd
like to offer thanks to the two outgoing council reps, Ann Howard and Wally
Bonnan, as their terms come to a close.
As I write this in mid-August, all SIOP committees are up and running, and
we are preparing for our September 11-12 meeting of the Society's executive
committee. While some of the meeting will be devoted to the day-to-day
business of the Society, we &e planning to devote a considerable amount of
time to a consideration of long term "big picture" issues regarding future
directions for the Society.
One issue under consideration concerns requirements. Prior to 1989, APA
membership was a prerequisite to Society membership. In 1989 we changed
the requirement to APA or APS membership. We are frequently asked why
membership independent of other professional affiliations is not permitted.
Supporters of the present policy argue that membership in a national
psychological association is important in that it provides a broader perspective
on Il0 psychology as part of larger discipline, and they also note that SIOP's
representation of the APA Council of Representatives is a function of the
number of APA members who affiliate with the Society. If a substantial
number of SIOP members dropped APA membership, our representation
within APA would he reduced. Some opponents of the present policy question
why affiliation with other broader organizations, such as state psychological
associations or the Academy of Management, does not meet the requirement
of affiliation with a broader organization. Other opponents of the policy argue
that requiring membership in specific organizations is paternalistic and that
SIOP membership should be available independent of affiliation with any
other organization to individual meeting our other requirements (e.g., a
doctoral degree for member status, and involvement in professional activities
related to the mission of the Society). I'm very interested in the perspectives of
Society members on this membership issue; please feel free to contact me or
any member of the executive committee.
A number of significant events of the last few months have revolved
around testing issues. First, a settlement was reached in June in the Soroka v.
Dayton Hudson case. The case involved the use of the MMPI and the CPI in
