A meeting for interested LPA members and others will be held on Sunday, December 13th.
Previously Dr. Levy announced a special meeting to “Discuss constructive ways for LPA to move forward, given the controversies of the last several months.” The meeting was tentatively set for November 21st. However, this date did not allow the thirty days advance notice required for conducting business, as directed in the bylaws.
Dr. Levy posted a second announcement on Listserv on November 16th, indicating a new meeting date of December 13th. She wrote that this meeting is for member input. Members may speak on any subject for up to three minutes, and again if time permits. The memo said a parliamentarian would be present to help all concerned. It is not clear if questions or discussion will be allowed. This notice was also short of the 30 days required for conducting formal business.
According to a letter from Dr. John Simoneaux, the meeting is to be held at the Baton Rouge Marriot (Beauregard Room) at 1:30 pm. In his letter, he encouraged all those interested to attend and participate and said it was his understanding that non- member psychologists may attend. Dr. Simoneaux is the recently appointed LPA Chair of Professional Affairs.
Dr. Michael Chafetz, President of Grassroots, said that although the meeting would not be official, a delegation from the Grassroots’ Executive Committee would be attending.
