possibilities for dining, shopping, and entertainment. We have
negotiated a room rate of $155 plus tax for single or double occupancy.
Our contract also allows for a few rooms at the published government

federal ID must be presented at the time of check-in. The cut-off
date for hotel registration within our room block is March 25,
2003. We cannot guarantee the space or room rates after that date.

will discover a vacation area that offers much to visitors, and
at a time of year when temperatures are comfortable. The hotel
will allow conference registrants to reserve rooms at the group
room rates from March 30, 2003 through April 9, 2003, provided
that rooms are available. Hotel Contact Information: 1000 West

- Conference Schedule
- Join friends and colleagues for a gala opening reception the evening of Thursday, April 3. Those interested in APA accreditation or in serving as APA accreditation site visitors may wish to come earlier on Thursday to take advantage of free APA pre-conference workshops. The conference opens formally on Friday morning with a continental breakfast followed by the keynote address. Meetings continue throughout Friday and Saturday, and the conference ends late Saturday afternoon. For additional details on the 2003 Membership Conference program, please go to APPIC web site, at http://www.appic.org.
Updated Call for Presentation Proposals
The Conference Program and Planning Committees have issued an updated call for proposals to present at the conference. Persons who would like to present should use the official Submission Form. A wide range of presentation formats will be used, including invited addresses, panel discussions, paper sessions on specific topics, informal all-to-all discussion groups, and poster sessions. The goal is to encourage exchange of ideas. Presentations may be data, theory, or experience based. The focus will be on thoughtful discussions about good training practices and support for training programs.
The APPIC Membership Conference will feature several distinguished invited speakers. Based on feedback from participants at the highly successful 2001 APPIC New Orleans conference, presenters will be given more time to speak and develop their ideas. There will be fewer presenters per session.
Submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee, which encourages broad participation and tries to accommodate as many presenters as possible. There are still openings in the program, and so the submission deadline has been extended to February 3, 2003. Persons submitting proposals will be notified about the status of their submission by the second week in February 2003.

Planned sessions include topics such as: Competency Models of Training - Follow-up on 2002 Competencies Conference; Culture and Diversity; Government Funding for Training; Quality of Supervision; Postdoctoral Training Issues; Recruitment and Selection of Trainees; Impact of Marketplace on Training; Ethics and Professional Development; APA Accreditation Issues; Training in Canada; Evaluating Intern Performance; Advocacy Training Curricula; Non-Traditional Training Environments - Consortia, Rural Settings, & Part-time Internships; Training for Managerial & Administrative Roles; Licensure and Training; and more.
The Workshop for New Training Directors is ideally suited for persons new to training.

Members of the APA Committee on Accreditation will present two pre-conference workshops. Attendance is free but is restricted to registered APPIC conference attendees. The first APA workshop provides training to conference participants who wish to qualify as APA accreditation site visitors, or who wish to hone their skills as site visitors. It is an all day workshop with 7 Continuing Education credits. The second APA workshop provides training to Internship and Postdoctoral Training Directors who seek to obtain first time APA accreditation or renewal of APA accreditation for their training programs. You must register in advance to take either of these APA Pre-Conference Workshops. You may download a copy of the APA Pre-Conference Workshop Registration Form at the conference web page and submit it directly to the APA Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation.
APPIC is approved by the APA to offer Continuing Education Credits for psychologists.
