The President's Message
by Marc D. Komori Stager, PsyD
Membership Chair

Dear CCPA Psychologists,

I stayed home for 40 days and all I wore was this dumb t-shirt. That was a coronavirus joke, but you will have to wait 2 weeks to see if you get it.

Thanks to all who made our first tele-workshop work. Thanks to Dr. Alissa Scanlin, who put the workshop together, and who stayed in good communication with our presenter as we changed from meeting in person to meeting remotely.

Thanks to Dr. Sebastian Sheldon who put together the questionnaire so that we did not have to fill it out the old fashioned way. And thanks to the CCPA members who participated. Most of you have presented in some fashion or other and know how much the audience helps the presenter.

For our social needs, our first maintaining-physical-distance First Friday is coming up. Alissa will have the meeting codes for that out to our members soon.

And a warm CCPA welcome to Dr. Laura Naman, who has joined the board as our Diversity Chair.

Thanks to the various contributions and reflections from the CCPA Board regarding COVID-19.

Stay safe and stay sane everyone.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marc, your humble CCPA President
