As we all make final preparations for APA in San Francisco, I am writing to
remind you about a meeting previously announced. On Saturday morning, Aug.
15, Section II of Division 12 - Clinical Geropsychology - will have a
meeting with interested students, attended by many Officers of the section.
The meeting is scheduled for 8 - 9 AM in the Division 12 Hospitality
Suite, which will be in the Marriott (no room number is available yet, but
I have been assured that it will be ubiquitously posted at APA and at the
Marriott).
This will be a chance to talk with Section II's leadership about issues in
the developing field of clinical geropsychology,. the new proficiency
status in Geropsychology and how that might affect you, and about
developing your own career. We'll also have coffee and a little to eat
available. We hope to see many of you there.

Report from Program Chair for 1999 (Neil Charness)

First, let me thank, on behalf of all of Division 20, Sue Whitbourne for
doing such a tremendous job as Program Chair for the recently completed and
very successful APA 98 Convention. As well, we need to extend our thanks
to our CEO, Past-president Joan Erber, for safely guiding the division
through another year.

But..

We have to begin thinking NOW about the program for next year. The call
for papers goes out in October, just a few months away, and abstracts will
be due to me in December, not that far into the future. The convention
next year is in Boston from Aug. 20-24. I've already been told (courtesy
of an 8:00 am APA Conference Program Chairs' meeting) that hotel space will
be tight, so book as soon as you can. Boston should be a fine venue at
that time of year.

I thought I would also take this opportunity to share with you some
important issues concerning the convention process.

1. Program Hours. Typically, Division 20 is assigned about 21-24 hours of
program time. This number is based on prior year attendance figures.
Thus, our program hours for the coming year are already determined by the
number of people who attended this year's convention and who indicated
Division 20 as their primary division when registering. The moral of the
story is that if you want to see more hours of program time, attend the
conference, and most importantly, if you belong to multiple divisions, list
Division 20 first. Fortunately, there are ways to add hours to our total.
Sue managed to work some magic to bring us from 24 to about 31 hours. The
magic incantations included starting some sessions at 8:00 am (free hours
to 9:00 am) as well as co-sponsoring hours with other "richer" Divisions.
I noted this year that, typically, 8:00 am sessions draw fewer people at
the beginning (20-30) and end up with about 30-40 by the end of the
session. We had the "good fortune" this year, that 8:00 am was an easy
time to attend for those coming from Eastern time zones. However, 8:00 am
is going to be a particularly tough time to make for next year for those
who will be travelling to the East from other time zones.

2. Program Days. Typically, we have almost no control over what days we
are assigned for our program hours. The APA convention committee does the
assignment, not the Division program chairs. The APA convention dates next
year are quite late, and may intrude on teaching starts for some attendees
(Monday, Tuesday). I cannot promise to be able to do much about this
problem, but will try my best to jawbone for a Friday - Sunday/Monday time
block for our division.

If you have suggestions about programming for next year (symposia,
speakers) let me know soon. Margie Lachman and Art Wingfield have agreed
to handle local arrangements issues (dining/entertainment) and am sure
would be willing to entertain suggestions for the evening event for the
division too, if you can get them to us soon. ("Beach Blanket Babylon" will
be a hard act to follow!) Places book up all too quickly, even a year in
advance.
ABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0">
So, get those program ideas, symposia, speaker suggestions, to me soon.
Lets make the last convention of the millenium a great one to remember!

mailing list.

The purpose of this list is to provide a forum, specifically for
students, in which to discuss psychological issues related to aging.
The list also provides means for correspondence concerning Division 20
and general APA business related to students.

Members of the mailing list can post information, questions, and
comments. Nonmembers can send messages to the list by emailing the
list moderators:
