1990
My three years in the presidency role (elect, current & past) was a blur. As I began my term, I also started a new job at PEP, a separate Mental Health facility for SED students. That first year, I didn't know if I was coming or going. Fortunately, the OSPA family was very supportive and helpful and I managed to get through, as everyone does. Steve Colahan, in particular, was a tremendous help in his role as president-elect. The hot topic during my presidency involved licensure issues (again!). It was quite an education watching OSPA, OPA and the State Board of Psychology trying to put their own twist on the licensing law. Probably my biggest legacy is the fact that OSPA is still using my letterhead and theme ("Building Bridges for the Future").
