Welcome to the MSPA Public Affairs Committee Page

The goal of the MSPA Public Affairs Committee is to promote the field of school psychology and MSPA through outreach, education, and collaboration within and outside of the field of school psychology. 

MSPA Awards Program 2012


MSPA is pleased to begin the search for the 2012 Outstanding Practice in School Psychology and Outstanding Educator Award winners.  This awards program recognizes excellence in the provision of school psychological services by a field-based practitioner and an educator who supports the practice of school psychology.  


Candidates for the Outstanding Practice Award must be school psychologists who spend the majority of their time providing direct services to students, teachers, and parents. Nominees for the Outstanding Educator Award must be nominated by a school psychologist and must support the practice of school psychology. Awards will be presented during the MSPA Spring Conference.  More information about the awards.


Nominations by members in good standing will be accepted until Friday, March 23, 2012.  Please direct questions to Amy Manner, Public Affairs Committee Chair, at publicaffairs@mspaonline.org. 

 

Assistance to Locals (ad-hoc)

The Assistance to Locals Committee is an ad-hoc committee of MSPA under the Public Affairs Committee. The goal of this committee is to help start local organizations where there may not currently be an organization, and to support current local organizations in building membership, increasing connections within their community, and advocating for school psychologists and students on the local level.
