APA Practice Leadership Conference
MARCH 9–12, 2019
GRAND HYATT, WASHINGTON, D.C.
Dear Practice Leadership Conference Participant:
Welcome to PLC, the annual advocacy and leadership training conference for leaders in
professional psychology practice. Each year, we offer programming and opportunities designed
to educate, connect, and empower you. We strive to equip you with all the information,
resources, and skills you need to be an effective and creative advocate who is on top of the
latest trends and developments in psychology and health care policy.
This year marks the launch of APA Services, Inc. and the inauguration of APA’s new integrated
advocacy structure. As APA enters a new era and begins implementing a strategic plan
approved by APA’s Council of Representatives at their February 2019 meeting, PLC presents
an opportunity to examine how we can shape psychology’s future and strengthen advocacy
efforts across our discipline.
You—psychology’s leaders and leaders-in-training—are at the forefront of change for our
profession. You are the reason why PLC is a successful advocacy event. The great energy and
exchange that PLC generates is made possible by its unique confluence of psychologists and
students from an array of professional, cultural, and regional backgrounds, who share similar
goals and a similar vision for the future of the profession. When you come together at PLC
to learn from one another, to exchange ideas, to collaborate and connect, a kind of “magic”
happens—and you take that “magic” first to Capitol Hill and then home to your communities.
Your diverse experiences, perspectives, and talents help propel us collectively forward, and
toward a strong, inclusive, dynamic future.
The conference has been carefully planned by many individuals, including staff from the APA
Communications and Advocacy Offices and the entire Practice Directorate. I want to especially
acknowledge Dan Abrahamson, PhD, and his State Advocacy staff, Susan Lazaroff, JD, Javier
Aquino, and Madeline Boening for their contribution in putting all the pieces together. The
directorate has been aided greatly by the Committee of State Leaders co-chaired by Travis
Colwell, PhD, and Theresa Coddington, PhD, and the executive committee of the Council of
Executives of State and Provincial Psychological Associations (CESPPA), chaired by Keira
Boertzel-Smith, JD. The PLC planning process has also been supported by the Committee for
the Advancement of Professional Practice (CAPP), chaired by Lindsey Buckman, PsyD.
Throughout the conference, APA staff will be available to answer questions and assist you.
Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help make sure your PLC experience is
successful and enjoyable.
Jared Skillings, PhD, ABPP
Chief of Professional Practice

Welcome APA PRACTICE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE March 9–12, 2019 Grand Hyatt, Washington, D.C.
About PLC
The Practice Leadership Conference (PLC) is the annual advocacy and leadership
training conference for leaders in professional psychology practice. The
conference brings together psychologists from the state, provincial, and
territorial psychological associations (SPTAs) across the U.S. and Canada, along
with APA governance and a few divisions, to advocate for issues important
to practicing psychologists. Historically this conference has primarily focused
on issues important to licensed psychologists and fostering leadership and
effective governance strategies for participating SPTAs.
State psychological associations have played the central role in the 36-year
history of PLC. Prior to 2017, PLC was called the State Leadership Conference
(SLC). The conference is an opportunity for SPTA leaders to network and
converse about professional issues, association management challenges, and
trends occurring at the state and federal level.
The APA Committee of State Leaders (CSL) also has a long history of contributing
to this conference, including coordination of the PLC Diversity Initiative for the
past 20 years. This year CSL would like to expand the conference’s emphasis
in this area by raising the consciousness of PLC attendees about issues of
diversity and inclusion. These diversity and inclusion issues include but are
not limited to (in no particular order), age and career stage, gender, gender
identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation,
ability status, language, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and level of
acculturation. In addition, it is hoped that PLC attendees will be mindful of the
impact of differences in power and privilege as conference participants interact
in numerous contexts.

Associate Executive Director, Recommendations from this task force also included formation of a new
Practice Research and Policy, APA work group to develop suggestions for expected competencies of individuals
@drbufka completing these accredited master’s programs. As this new work group is
formed, it is vitally important for the practice and education communities to
work together to identify appropriate competencies and distinguish those
trained in psychology at the master’s level versus those trained at the doctoral
RESOURCE PERSON level. Implications of such developments for education, training, practice and
