MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Colleagues, friends and members of our family ICP, Another festival season and year is behind us and ahead of us, especially in the Northern Hemisphere are cold days and nights while in the Southern Hemisphere it should be lovely and warm. Those who live in the Southern Hemisphere are envied by those shivering in the cold.

Treasurer: Dr. Gerald L. Gamache, USA, St. Augustine, FL

Things are well on the way for attendance at conferences in
South Africa and Sevilla. Those who are coming to South Africa I would suggest the Fountain Hotel which is reasonably priced and of good quality. It is near the convention centre. I would also consider the Hotel Viapol, in Sevilla which is also very convenient and near the University where the ICP conference will be held. I will be arriving a day early and staying a day later after the conference to meet you all and have a pre-convention informal get-together. As usual I reiterate the importance of our finding new members who will hopefully be coming to the conferences this year. I look forward to meeting you all in South Africa and Sevilla. I would like to thank our President Elect, Tara Pir for organising the ICP Symposium in South Africa.

I am extremely grateful to all who have worked for the betterment of ICP and helped to move us forward. I would like to thank those who have given us staunch support and their valuable time and expertise to our organisation. When there has been any disagreement it has always been sorted out in an amicable and decisive way with no-one feeling (I believe) upset by the decisions made. We have therefore made some hard decisions about membership dues and commitments through our Financial Committee Chair Michael Ste- vens and our Treasurer Gerald Gamache. We are moving forward with our website and I

would like to thank Ann Marie O’Roark and Beverley Stevens for all the work they are

currently doing to make things better. There will be links to other websites to which ICP has

an affiliation. I would like to thank Nancy Quatrano and Ann Marie O’Roark our Past

President for their sterling work with the compiling and publishing of the IP. If anyone is interested in assisting or producing the IP please contact Ann Marie.

I am sure that you and I are hoping for a regeneration of ICP in the future and that we may grow from strength to strength and pass on our good work from one generation to the next.

I am certain that you as well as I owe a great deal to past members of our family. Some may not be here and others may not be able to attend due to frailties of aging. I wish to thank everyone past, present, and future for the support you have given to our organisation and family of ICP.

The following policy changes were approved by the
Board of Directors and submitted by mail and email to the paid membership during February, for their vote. Nancy Quatrano, non-member and independent consultant, collected the votes in confidence. Twenty-five members voted and unanimously approved policies 1 through 3. One member voted against proposal #4. Only 2 votes were submitted by mail.

Plans are in-process to possibly embed the ICP, Inc. annual conference within the next IUPsyS congress, ICP2016. Financial and space requirements could not be arranged to do so this summer. Moreover, Board Director Ana Guil was able to arrange for the University of Seville to host the ICP, Inc. annual meeting probono, as the Chicago School of Professional Psychology did in 2010.

BOARD REPORTS

MESSAGE FROM THE PAST PRESIDENT

Dr. Ann M. O’Roark

Director Roseline Davido is researching dates and sites for

2014 that would enable ICP, Inc.’s annual meeting to be in prox-

imity to the quadrennial IAAP congress. While nothing definitive is on record for 2013, APA meets in Hawaii, so possibilities for that region are especially welcome.

2012 MARCH PRIORITIES Past President Ann Marie

O’Roark

ICP, Inc. Membership, as mentioned above, is open to allied disciplines. We can see how rapidly professionals accelerated interest in international / global association by the exponential growth in the number of international groups. ICP, Inc. remains one of the few associations that has individual members and is deliberately inclusive, wanting representation of all specializations

ELECTIONS, LONG RANGE CONFERENCE PLANNING, MEMBERSHIP

St. Augustine, Florida. March 2012. As spring approaches within psychology and, now, within professions interested in huthe northern hemisphere and fall begins in the southern areas of our global community, it is time to think about elections. An ongoing task assigned to the Past President is to Chair the Nominations and Elections Committee. Members of that committee are previous Past Presidents. All members are invited to submit nominations. To submit a nomination, first assure that the person you wish to name is willing to accept that nomination, should the committee decide to invite the member to be on the ballot. man well being and mental health.
ICP, Inc. opens its arms to welcome new members. As an incubator association that historically encouraged members from less affluent regions and met in places no psychology association has previously visited, our success in introducing professionals to the scientific program arena and launching young careers means that many have left the nest to move on into specialty and regional associations. Thus, the third priority is as it has been for the past three years: Recruitment of new members. Italy won the award for
While there is no campaigning or debating, such as the first year of recruiting the most new members. Tara Pir, current the world sees going on in the USA as political parties select President Elect, won the award for recruiting the most new allied their nominees, ICP, Inc. does require that each candidate discipline new members the second year. This year, a special apsubmit a recent photograph, statement about service goals-if- preciation will be presented for recruitment of new members from elected and of services to the association in the past. Please countries that are not now represented in the dues-paid membership

nominations are accepted.
Looking forward to hearing from you with your Nomina-

tions for the 2012 Elections, with proposals for future annual meetings, and with many new members from your region.
The ballot will be sent out to all dues-paid members in May or June 2012. As the annual conference is to be in September this year, the voting needs to begin no later than July. Therefore, send nominations to me in March, April, May so that details for ballot can be completed. All who are elected must be dues-paid members by the end of the voting period. The newest feature for the 2012 elections is that ICP, Inc. membership is now open to allied disciplines and all are eligible to serve on the Board of Directors and Officers.

Warm Regards and Sla’inte, Ann Marie O’Roark, PhD, ABAP

A second priority for keeping ICP, Inc. moving forward is Long Range Conference Planning. Fortunately, Dr. Janet Sigal, new Director At Large, agreed to Chair that Committee. She is actively recruiting proposals from potential Local Arrangements Committees. ICP, Inc. attempts to meet in proximity to other major international congresses or conventions, such as the IUPsyS, and IAAP. IUPsyS will hold their quadrennial ICP2012 congress in Cape Town, South Africa in July. ICP, Inc., as the second oldest of the three earliest international psychology associations, will have an invited symposium on the program in Cape Town.

Greetings! ICP has historically provided scientific programs at our international conventions. The conventions help foster two points of our mission in particular: To advance the science and practice of psychology; and to foster international professional de-
As you know, as the President-Elect, I am responsible for the development and coordination of the Scientific Program for our 2012 Annual Convention. I am inviting all health and mental health professionals to submit their research and proposal abstracts related to the theme of our conference: Women and Immigration. Submissions will be considered for Keynote Address, Symposium, Round Table, Paper Presentations, and Social / Conversation Hour. The submission form is attached. Submissions are due by May 1^st. velopment, networking, communication, mentoring and friendship among psychologists and allied mental health professionals and social scientists.

ICP has successfully conducted conventions globally, among the many host countries were China, France, Australia, and Russia, with the goal of continually reaching and creating networking opportunities with more professionals, enhancing research and improving the practice of our profession. The structure of our Program Development and Outreach and Engagement is to have a Worldwide Chair and a Local Area Chair. We have a Local Area Chair for the very purpose of recruiting and communicating with local professionals through smaller local conventions. For example, we recently held several conferences in Padua, Italy. We also held a conference in Los Angeles, where we collaborated with the Western Psychological Association and APA Division 52. This year we are in Seville at the beautiful Universidad de Sevilla. Founded in 1505, the University of Seville is the cultural center of Spain, and will co-host our convention.
Warm Regards, Tara Pir

I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the many contributions to our field from Europe. Sigmund Freud immediately comes to mind, but there are many others, including Broca from France, Adler from Austria and Piaget from Switzerland. I look forward to the new contributions that will be made as we share our wealth of knowledge and commitment to psychology with each other and this region of the world.

I am also excited about meeting new and emerging professionals in our field. We must do our part to encourage, motivate and mentor their

LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE

Dr. Janet Sigal

The Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) is pleased to announce that ICP will have two meetings in 2012.



The first is the quadrennial symposium that ICP organized in cooperation with the International Congress of Psychology and IUPsyS in Cape Town, South Africa from July 22-27.



The Annual Conference and Board Meetings for

February 29, 2012. St. Augustine, Florida. FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY. A FRIENDLY REMINDER. ICP has sent out two dues letters by post for those individuals not having e-mail addresses, and three e-mails to those who do, with the following results.

2012 will be held in Seville, Spain from September 10- September 14. Guidelines for presentation submissions for the Seville ICP scientific program are included in this IP52.1,
Plans are being made for a possible conference in
Singapore in 2013. An exploration of meeting in St. Augustine, Florida is in-process. Work has begun for an ICP conference in Paris, France in 2014.
If you are interested in hosting an ICP conference in the future, please send the following information to Janet Sigal, email, Janet [email protected] and Martin Butler,

From all notices sent out, 40 individuals who paid 2011 dues have not paid 2012 dues. This represents $3500 to $4000 less revenue which in turn creates problems for budgeting, and requires cuts in our projected activities and ICP expenditures.

Please, if you have not done so, pay your 2012 dues! Expedite that payment through the web site: ICPWEB.ORG. If you prefer not to use PayPal, your own credit card will work.

PROPOSAL FOR HOSTING THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND BOARD MEETING

GUIDELINES FOR HOSTING AN INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF PSYCHOLOGY ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND
BOARD MEETING

young psychologists, and for psychologists from the devel-

The International Council of Psychology, Inc holds an annual scientific program and Board meeting each year. The conference host (local arrangements committee, coalition or proposal agents) must be a member of ICP,Inc. To establish the feasibility of submitting an application, a potential applicant might begin with an overview of some logistical issues for proposing a Congress venue:

oping world and transition countries. It is therefore im-

portant to provide a plan that will guarantee special fees, housing, and support for those colleagues. This plan should be clearly outlined in the budget, including special provisions for ARTS programmes (by agreement, at least 30 ARTS participants are provided registration waivers).

A balanced budget needs to be provided in outline. It is important to show realistically how the income (registration fees and other) will cover your costs. It may be helpful to consult the preceding organizers of Conferences in drafting the budget. The budget is reviewed by the President and the Treasurer, who can offer advice.



Is there a conference venue to host at least 100 participants? Are there sufficient hotel rooms close to the conference venue Is there a scientific community to support, develop or sponsor the program?
The International Council of Psychologists adheres strictly

to the ICSU principles of free circulation of scientists. Provide evidence that any scientist, from whatever country, will be allowed to enter your country without special requirements (except for the regular passport and visa)

How are Countries Selected?

If you believe your country/city/university would be appropriate for hosting an International Council of Psychology annual meeting, you may wish to submit an application. It is the ICP, Inc. Board of Directors that votes for the selection. Although it is hard to predict just what features of a proposal define the voting outcome, the Board typically takes the following items into account (the order of the items which are listed here is not necessarily in the order of importance):

Timing

Before the next International Council of Psychologists

(in 2012 Seville, Spain, September 8-14)



Submit a letter of intent to the Long Range Conference Planning Chair.



The finalized application file should be forwarded to LRCP Chair, ICP,Inc. President, and Treasurer several months ahead of the Conference meeting date.

Geographical Rotation among continents and countries

attempts to guarantee broad geographical coverage, proximity to other major professional conferences, or in regions where psychologists may not have presented a scientific program previously.

The scientific community in the conference country is

especially invited to participate in the scientific program.
