New SIOP Book explores Workforce Readiness and the Future of Work

Forget bitcoin—skills are the global currency for 21^st century economies.  Lori Foster, professor of Psychology at North Carolina State University and the University of Cape Town, says, “Without proper investment in skills, individuals languish on the margins of societies, technology does not convert into economic prosperity, and it’s difficult if not impossible for countries to compete in an increasingly knowledge-based global economy.”

At the 2019 SIOP Conference, members of SIOP and Division 19, the Society for Military Psychology, signed a collaboration agreement to further the work of the Military Veterans Initiative (MVI). The collaboration will advance ongoing research, practice, and funding efforts. Drs. Kristin Saboe and Nathan Ainspan were selected to serve as liaisons between the two APA divisions.

One of the privileges of being a full member of SIOP is the ability to vote on issues that directly affect the Society. The Executive Board recently voted to support two changes to SIOP’s Bylaws. In accordance with Article IX (Amendments) of the Bylaws, member voting on the two proposed amendments concludes on July 19, 2019.
