1997
It was my pleasure to serve as OSPA president at a time when the challenge was to energize, serve, and include more of our membership. During this time committee membership grew, services expanded, and collegiality was reported to be high. Also, funding for the internship became a legislative challenge. OSPA responded with a tremendous effort, felt by those in Columbus. Vigilance is needed in the coming years as we face a real shortage in qualified school psychologists. When these shortages occur, there will be a need for concerted effort to impact university training programs, superintendents, ODE, and the legislators to maintain the integrity of our role in the schools. OSPA will need you. Be there!
