Dear Division Officers:

I would like to let people know about the upcoming National Latina/o Psychological Association conference this November 11-13 in San Antonio Texas at the Westin Riverwalk. APA is a sponsor of the conference along with Divisions 17, 35 and 45, Southwest Airlines, Dunspaugh-Dalton Community and Education Well Being Research Center of the University of Miami, Our Lady of the Lake University, Pearson, CETPA, Inc, Teachers College, Texas A&M, the Texas Psychological Association, the National Resource Center for Hispanic Mental Health, Psi Chi, and others.

NLPA is an organization focused on a mission "to generate and advance psychological knowledge and fosters its effective application for the benefit of the Hispanic/Latino population". We are one of the five ethnic minority psychological associations recognized by APA and membership is open to anyone who shares out mission.

Our conference program is now available at www.nlpa.ws under the "conferences"
 tab.
 The conference kicks off Thursday, November 11, with pre conference
 workshops on Psychopharmacology, Treatment, Assessment and Ethics in working
 with Latino/a populations. CEUs are available in partnership with TPA. That night we are partnering with Our Lady of the
 Lake University for a poster session and a reading from acclaimed Chicana
 author Sandra Cisneros.

We have keynote presentations from APA President-Elect Melba Vasquez and
 "Living Legend" and NLPA founder Patricia Arredondo. We are honoring
 pioneering psychologists Nadya Fouad and Lillian Comas-Diaz. In addition
 there will be networking, papers, symposia, roundtables and posters
 throughout the two days. We have an entire program set up for students and
 early career professionals. We end the conference on Saturday night with an
 awards banquet.


Please visit our website for more information and/or visit my presidential
 blog at: http://nlpapresident.blogspot.com/ to learn more about the
 conference, program and travel award programs made possible by our sponsors.
 If you are unable to attend, but would like to support student travel to the
 conference, we have that option available on the website.
 Day registrations are also available.

Also please forward this email to any mental health professionals, faculty
 and graduate/undergraduate students interested in Latino/a psychology. In
 particular we are trying to reach Latino/a undergraduates and those at
 Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI).
