President's Platform

---

Welcome to a new year with Fort Bend Psychological Association and thank you so much for allowing me to serve as your president this year. My hope is to build a rich, collaborative experience for every member of FPBA in 2022, working from the theme of Connection: Clients, Colleagues, and Community. 

This year, we’ll approach our continuing education opportunities with a focus on connecting with the incredibly diverse range of clients that we serve in Fort Bend. I want to bring you professional development that will really impact your practice (whether that’s therapy, assessment, consulting, or other professional activities), in service to improving clients’ lives. And we’ll continue to share and build referrals so that we can connect clients with the best possible fit in services.  

I believe the most fundamental value of a local professional association is in supporting each other. We’ll connect not just through professional development, but opportunities for service as well as socializing. I’ll be encouraging small group development for committees, local area projects, and simple enjoyment. This year, we’ll also (hopefully!) celebrate more of the gift that is connecting face-to-face!

Do you want to serve your community this year? How would you like to do that? What special skills or talents do you have that you can share? What are you passionate about? If you’re interested, I’ll work with you to find a project, speaking engagement, or other outreach opportunity to put psychology in the minds and hands of our community, so that all of Fort Bend can benefit from our expertise and commitment to care.
