Annual Report of the Policy and Planning Board: 1977.

The Policy and Planning (P&P) Board met three times during 1977. Two regular meetings were held in Washington, D.C., on March 25-26 and October 14-15. In addition, the Board held a special retreat meeting, the first such in several years. This retreat meeting took place near the historic campus of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville on July 8-10. At its March meeting, the Board devoted considerable time to discussing (a) the annual convention, (b) the report of the Task Force on APA and State Association Relations, and (c) the process of nominations for APA boards and committees. At its retreat meeting in Charlottesville, the Board took up a number of issues that required extended discussion. The organization and possible reorganization of the APA was a major focus. At its October meeting, the Board developed further issues raised at the retreat meeting and covered new ground as well. One issue was the status of graduate training and job availability in psychology. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
