Happy June! As the school year comes to a close, I’d like to share with you some events and happenings from NASP.
Your NASP membership will expire on June 30, so the time to renew is now! You can divide your dues across three monthly installments when you renew online by June 30. Ensure that your access to NASP member benefits continues by renewing at www.nasponline.org/membership.
The “Safe Schools for Transgender and Gender Diverse Students” position statement outlines NASP’s commitment to efforts that ensure schools are safe and welcoming to all students. View the statement at www.nasponline.org/about_nasp/positionpapers/Transgender_PositionStatement.pdf.
You can also read an interview with the lead authors of the statement at www.nasponline.org/publications/cq/42/7/welcoming.aspx.
NASP has resources designed for early career school psychologists available at www.nasponline.org/earlycareer/index.aspx. The NASP Early Career Workgroup is also currently seeking early career members to spotlight! If you know a NASP member in the first two years of his or her career who you think should be featured, please e-mail daniel.newman@nl.edu.
