This department houses the lobbying efforts of the Association. The Advocacy staff member reviews approximately 3,000 pieces of legislation annually, seeks input from our Local Advocacy Network representatives, and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding CPAs position on bills of interest. The Local Advocacy Network Representatives share this with their constituencies, and we share with the broader psychological community. CPA staff write letters of support or opposition and testify in legislative committees on relevant bills. In 2023, CPA sponsored two bills. The first, AB 282 makes an applicant for licensure eligible to take any and all examinations required for licensure as soon as all coursework required for a doctoral degree has been completed, as documented by a written certification from the registrar of the applicants educational institution or program. The bill also allows for the Board of Psychology to establish requirements consistent with national testing requirements. This is important to create efficiencies within the Board of Psychology and avoid long delays in receiving licensure. The second, SB 372, requires all boards under the Department of Consumer Affairs, including the Board of Psychology, to publicly list only the current legal name and/or gender upon documentation to the Board that the licensee or registrants legal name or gender has been changed. This bill would eliminate the use of deadnames in the public licensee database. CPA co-sponsored this bill with several colleague associations. Both of these bills were signed by the Governor.CPA hosted a virtual Lobby Day which was attended by psychologists and doctoral students from across the state to advocate directly with legislators. CPA accomplishes its advocacy goals through professional lobbying staff meeting with the 120 members of the California Legislature and through direct e-mail grassroots campaigns to our 20 affiliated chapters, eight practice divisions, and all CPA members. The Professional Affairs Department at CPA is responsible for providing professional practice consultations and resources to CPA members. This year, the departments director provided over 550 professional practice consultations (phone and email). To keep association members informed about key issues, such as new laws affecting psychologists, the director sent seven email alerts to members. She also maintained and updated the Practice Tools and Information webpage on the CPA website with information on topics such as licensure, laws and regulations, practice guidelines, confidentiality, ethics, risk management, child abuse reporting, billing and coding, recordkeeping, and telepsychology. The director also presented webinars on Trending Topics in Professional Practice: Changes in Telehealth, Continuing Education, and More and The New Continuing Professional Development Regulations.The departments director represented CPA at four meetings of the California Board of Psychology, several subcommittee meetings of the California Board of Psychology, and at the American Psychological Association practice leadership conference. The director supported CPA legislative advocacy efforts, mainly by providing analyses of relevant laws and regulations. Continuing EducationCPAs professional development CE Program consists of several major programs around the state that we present, generally in concert with our affiliated Chapters. In 2023, we presented one ethics and risk management course with the Insurance Trust (one of the two primary malpractice providers for psychologists in the US). We also co-sponsored two live webinars that were turned into Distance Learning CE. The first live webinar was co-sponsored with the Pennsylvania Psychological Association. The second live webinar was co-sponsored with the Missouri Psychological Association and the Hawaii Psychological Association. For both webinars, the other Psychological Association handled attendance tracking and certificate distribution. In addition, we co-sponsor many of the CE programs presented by our affiliated local Chapters and CPA Divisions. We also grant CE credit for reading articles in our professional practice magazine and taking an on-line test. In total, CPA presented or sponsored 27 live presentations and 20 distance learning courses for a total of 67 credit hours. We also worked with several of our Divisions to create webinars; these do not produce significant income but do provide a significant benefit of Division Membership. 135 people attended the one APAIT Risk Management course. The On-line Learning Center is no longer available. false false false true false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false true 16 0 true 6 true true true false false false true true false false false X 9 9 false false false false true true true true true false true true true true true true true true true false false X Tom Marx 9162867979 1231 I Street Ste 204 Sacramento CA 95814 Jo Linder Crow CEO 40.00 0.00 X 183024 0 11251 Tom Marx Dir of Acctg 40.00 0.00 X 72222 0 8166 Scott Parker CEO 40.00 0.00 X 60818 0 4777 David Hindman President 1.00 0.00 X X 5000 0 0 Michele Willingham Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jessica A Byrd-Olmstead Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Williamson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joshua Heitzmann Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Lin Past President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dawn Vo-Jutabha Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jei Africa Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melanie Chinchilla President Elect 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 321064 24194 1 false true false 0 24810 24810 Advertising 541800 48170 8835 39335 Continuing Education 611430 95357 95357 Convention 900099 163314 111589 51725 Membership Dues & Assessments 900099 719940 719940 Provider approval fees 611430 76521 76521 4450 4450 1107752 32867 32867 0 11853 11853 0 0 0 0 0 Outside Admin Services 541200 11560 11560 11560 1188842 1016692 50895 96445 0 0 0 0 345258 0 209543 7702 14713 44118 0 14955 3500 0 0 0 126931 0 102819 28026 0 104517 30345 0 170423 0 0 31831 8616 Miscellaneous 71533 Dues & Subscriptions 16527 Taxes 1007 0 1332364 0 0 0 222952 254435 1147900 994386 0 40690 27260 0 0 0 0 20421 27832 1545929 601811 974802 944118 0 0 0 0 18626 3847 2425391 2251878 129228 69006 456744 504468 694084 676816 7534 7309 1287590 1257599 X 1017441 855406 120360 138873 1137801 994279 2425391 2251878 -143522 X false false false false CPA-PAC 1231 I Street Ste 204 Sacramento CA 95814 953796875 45118 false false false 719940 141544 141544 134166 7378 230000 230000 1202508 490462 712046 113421 111349 2072 944118 Due to Related Entities 7309 7309 X X X false false false Jo Linder Crow CEO 183024 5193 6058 194275 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: CPA Annual Institute and ConventionCPA holds an annual institute and convention in different cities each year to provide a concentrated four days of continuing education presentations. It is attended by 300 400 psychologists. The Institute is a full day on a current advance in psychology that becomes a new special requirement by the Board of Education that all psychologists must learn within a given deadline. The remaining three days are filled with up to 5 CE presentations each day. While most of the CE presentations at the Convention are like the main CE program, there are also two keynote presentations by nationally known experts in the field. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Governance Program CPA has a Board of Directors that has nine (9) voting members (10 on alternate years when there is a Treasurer-elect). All members of the Board of Directors are elected by the full CPA membership, except for the Student Member Seat which is filled by the chair of our student organization.The Board establishes policy for the Association and, according to the CPA bylaws, has the responsibility for actively overseeing the work of the Association to ensure that the Association is adhering to state and federal laws relative to non-profit corporations, corporate ethics, and anti-trust requirements. The Board typically holds several in-person meetings per year and telephone or videoconference meetings monthly. This was modified during the pandemic, and all our meetings have been virtual. During an annual meeting at our convention each year CPA members receive an update on the activities of the association and the CEO and the Board members present are available to respond to questions from the membership regarding the activities of the Association. There are six standing committees of the Board, as well as other committees and task forces that are established as needed for the work of the organization. The Board oversees the work of all committees and task forces. The work of the committees encompasses overseeing the finances of the Association, providing ethical consultation to our members, developing educational opportunities such as continuing professional education, reviewing changes to any governing documents of the Association, developing strategies for membership recruitment and retention, and overseeing the organization of our annual convention that includes professional development and networking opportunities for psychologists in California. CPA also provides, through our various committees and task forces, information to the public about the importance of psychologically healthy behavior and lifestyles and offers services to California communities. An example is our Public Education Committee, whose members are available to speak to community and public organizations such as PTAs and the Rotary Club, and who also respond to inquiries from the Press about current events that have implications for psychological well-being of Californians. The CPA Disaster Resource Network provides relief services in the event of a natural disaster or significant events such as wildfires that affect California communities, and psychologists with special training are on call to respond as needed. CPA also participates as a member organization of the California Disaster Mental Health Coalition that includes other mental health professional organizations. Through the work of the Board we extend our activities and services to the members of our 20 chapters and our 8 specialty divisions. Our advocacy efforts benefit all psychologists in California, even those who are not members of our organization.
