This conference marks the first international counseling psychology conference and the fifth nation- al conference (Northwestern University, 1951, Greystone, 1964, Georgia, 1987, and Houston, 2001). We are proud to fol- Co-Chairs low in the tradition of these previous counseling psychology conferences that each in their own way and time has helped Linda M. Forrest shape counseling psychology. The legacies of these conferences live on and have been the foundation on which the plan- ning for the 2008 International Counseling Psychology Conference (ICPC) rests. Laura K. Palmer Following the tradition of recent conferences, the 2008 International Counseling Psychology Conference is "grander in scale Members and more ambitious than its predecessors" (Fouad et al., 2004, p. 64), because the conference planners decided early to Sherry A. Benton extend our reach beyond the boundaries of the United States. We extend a special and warm welcome to our colleagues Kathleen J. Bieschke who have traveled from other countries to make this a truly international gathering. We know that your presence will enlight- Emilia Boeschen en us, challenge assumptions we hold, and stretch us to think more broadly and inclusively about counseling psychology. Cyndy J. Boyd We have worked hard to showcase scholars from around the world. Over 180 scholars with addresses outside the United States are listed on the conference program. The 2008 ICPC provides an opportunity to engage in dialogue with interna- Y. Barry Chung tional colleagues, explore the commonalities and differences among of our disciplines and set forth an international focus Kathlyn C. Dailey and agenda for years to come. Michael Duffy Lawrence H. Gerstein Many individual students and professionals have been involved in planning this conference over the last 24 months. As a Alberta M. Gloria group we are excited about what we have helped create and are eager to see it unfold. The next three days offer a pletho- Robert Lent ra of opportunities for students, early career, mid-career and more senior professionals, whatever the job setting or focus of your work (teaching, research, practice, advocacy). Conference attendees will engage in learning, teaching, and talking about Karin Lutter critical local, national and international issues. The program will offer many ways to do this. There will be keynote address- Marie L. Miville es, continuing education workshops, working groups, symposia, research paper and posters sessions, roundtables, and social Jacquelyn Smith events such as receptions and a dance. Elizabeth M. Vera Sue Whiston Similar to the previous counseling psychology conferences, the 2008 International Counseling Psychology Conference Carrie L. Winterowd promises to be a historical event. Building on the social advocacy groups of the Houston 2001 conference, each conference participant will have the opportunity to join a working group on a topic of his/her choice. Working groups will meet on Friday and Saturday from 10:00 am til noon. We are hoping that four hours together in work groups will provide an oppor- tunity for conference participants to experience active engagement and help move forward important counseling psycholo- gy agendas. As conference planners we are eager to see the potential products that will result from dedicating significant conference time to work groups. The conference theme "Creating the Future: Counseling Psychologists in a Changing World" means your presence and active participation in the next three days will be an important part of creating the future of counseling psychology as well as the impact and legacy of this conference. With great eagerness, let the conference begin.
