Dear OSPA members and friends of OSPA,
We have made it to the halfway point in the academic year. I hope that everyone has been able to take some time over the winter break to spend time with family and loved ones. It was great to see so many of you at our annual fall conference in November. I hope you, like me, were inspired to continue our important work in advocating for equity for families in our schools. Before the conference began on Nov. 10, I was honored to be invited to give some brief remarks to all the wonderful school psychology interns during the annual intern conference organized by our Inter University Council. It was so nice to see such an energetic group of future school psychologists who were eager to learn and work to serve families throughout Ohio. For any interns or current graduate students reading this, my message of getting involved early with OSPA still stands. I encourage all of you to join committees and get involved with us early and often in your career. You can make a difference in the lives of families in your district and make a difference for our field, and families across the state with your involvement in OSPA. Additionally, before the conference the Executive Board voted to join the Honesty for Ohio Education Coalition, which I suggest all OSPA members explore. We also approved a resolution honoring OPA’s retiring Executive Director Michael Ranney who has been a staunch ally to our field and has helped bridge collaborative partnerships with OPA over many years.
