Chair, SCCAP Fellows Committee

Spring has been busy for the Fellows Committee!  Eight new members have earned SCCAP Fellow status.  We welcomed: Alice Carter, PhD, Paula Fite, PhD, Lyn Greenberg, PhD, ABPP, Charles Guyer II, PhD, ABPP, George M. Kapalka, PhD, MS, ABPP, Patricia Kerig, PhD, Chad Shenk, PhD, and Terry Stancin, PhD, ABPP.

To earn SCCAP Fellow status you must already be an APA Fellow and provide evidence of outstanding work in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology.  Because applicants are already APA fellows the division fellow application is not as lengthy.

During the APA Convention this August, the APA Council of Representatives will vote on approving six new initial APA fellows.  These Initial APA Fellows are sponsored by SCCAP and will concurrently achieve both APA and SCCAP Fellow status.

SCCAP Fellow status is a valued honor and recognizes outstanding contributions, with national impact, to Psychology overall and to SCCAP specifically.  A hearty congratulations to all our new Fellows!

If you are interested in becoming an SCCAP Fellow, you are encouraged to drop by the Reception and to apply!  Applications for the 2024 cycle are not due until December 1, 2023, so you have plenty of time.  For information on requirements, please visit the SCCAP website.

I would like to thank the prior Chair – Sharon Berry, PhD, ABPP – for her advice and assistance in this process.  I also acknowledge the important role and excellent service of the committee members – Joaquin Borrego, PhD and Barney Greenspan, PhD.

JOIN US at the Annual APA Convention for a Fellows Social Hour!

Friday, August 4th, SCCAP Suite, Marriott Marquis Suite #TBA

All SCCAP Fellows and anyone interested in applying to become a fellow are welcome to attend.  It is a great chance to mingle with friends and colleagues and to learn some tips to make the application process easier.

We welcome all.  The location of this meeting will be updated in the SCCAP-APA convention schedule and on social media (@SCCAP53).
