Typically, a committee member is delegated to make contact with potential presenters, and eventually to facilitate the presenters submission of an on-line CE proposal form and vita. Occasionally, committee members serve as moderators at CE events. Finally, the CE Development Chair and/or Vice Chair attend quarterly KPA Board meetings in order to report their activity and stay connected to the needs of KPA and its members. Early Career Psychologists The Ethics Committee is dedicated to assisting psychologists in maintaining ethical conduct at the highest professional level. Our primary focus is education and consultation; thus, we do not adjudicate ethical complaints brought against psychologists. Our ongoing educational activities include presenting on ethics at the KPA Convention each fall, writing ethics articles for the Spring and Fall issues of the KPA newsletter and providing ethics presentations for universities, organizations, and groups of psychologists around the state. Our ongoing consultation activities include responding to online ethical consultation requests from KPA members by disseminating the request to committee members for their input and then compiling their feedback into one helpful response and responding to verbal requests for ethical consultations by the same procedure. The Ethics Committee generally meets four times a year, usually on a Friday morning in January, April, July, and October. We have two spaces on the committee for interested graduate students and our students usually serve for twelve months beginning July 1st. Finance Committee The Finance Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Kentucky Psychological Association to assist the Board in its general oversight of KPA’s financial performance, position, and use of assets.
