Successful Fall Symposium Sets the Stage for CPA's Future Endeavors

The recent Fall Symposium organized by the Colorado Psychological Association (CPA) has been hailed as a resounding success, garnering positive feedback for its professional speakers and enriching educational content. The event, orchestrated by the dedicated planning committee, has paved the way for CPA's next ambitious venture—the 2024 Spring Symposium, which will cast a spotlight on the intersection of social media and behavior. A call for speakers is expected to attract experts and thought leaders eager to contribute to this pertinent and evolving conversation.

Following the symposium, CPA continued its tradition with the annual PAC/Happy Hour event, held at New Terrain Brewing Co. This event provided a casual platform for networking and fostering connections within the psychological community. Among the distinguished attendees were CPA Lobbyist Jeannie Vanderburg and special guest Rep. Judy Amabile. Rep. Amabile, a key figure in the passing of HB23-1071 (Prescriptive Authority legislation) received the prestigious "Friend of Psychology" award from CPA in recognition of her advocacy and support. Other prime sponsors of HB23-1071 to receive this award are Rep. Mary Bradfield, Senator Cleave Simpson, and Senator Steve Fenberg, all of whom have played pivotal roles in advancing the field of psychology within the legislative landscape.
