| Abstract: | Presents an introduction to the 50th anniversary of the Thayer Conference. This issue offers an article celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Thayer Conference and three commentaries from individuals at various points in their careers. For decades there has been a great debate over how these and other related conferences have influenced our daily practice in the field of school psychology. Some have even questioned if the Futures conference will result in lasting change. With this as a backdrop we offer these articles. We hope this glimpse of the past, considered in light of our future, will spur you on to action as we work to improve the process of schooling, and the lives of children, youth, and families.
