CALL for NOMINATIONS for SEPA Administrative Officer

The Southeastern Psychological Association (SEPA) is seeking an energetic, well-organized member to become the next Administrative Officer (AO) of the most innovative, the most unusual, and the strongest regional psychological association. Rosemary Hays-Thomas has stated that she will retire as AO of the SEPA at the end of the 2010 annual meeting, and thus, David Washburn, the SEPA president, has appointed an Administrative Officer Search Committee consisting of Dr. Steve Nida, Dr. Jacquelyn White, Dr. Sabina Widner, Dr. Rosemary Hays-Thomas (consultant), and Dr. James L. Pate (chair).

The Administrative Officer is the chief staff person in the SEPA. The AO makes arrangements for the annual meetings (hotel arrangements, registration, program schedule), maintains membership records, handles the finances of the organization (in conjunction with the Secretary/Treasurer), manages the SEPA Administrative Office, and provides continuity for the organization in as much as the officers change frequently. The AO works with officers and the Executive Committee of the SEPA to advance the organization and psychology in the southeast. The time commitment will be approximately ¼ time on an academic schedule, with the time requirements varying throughout the year. The stipend or salary is negotiable.

To nominate a person for the Search Committee’s consideration, please send the name of the person or persons and contact information to the chair of the Search Committee (jpate@gsu.edu or 1015 Wadsworth Drive, N.W., Atlanta, GA 30318-1655). On July 1, 2009, the Committee will begin considering applications but will continue to accept nominations and applications until the position is filled. Nominees will be contacted by the Search Committee and will be encouraged to be candidates for the position.
