Following a no vote on October 22nd by the Executive Council of the Louisiana Psychological Association on a resolution asking the association to support the independent regulation of psychology, some disgruntled LPA members submitted a petition for a special meeting.
Dr. Susan Dardard organized the petition and submitted a list of 55 names to LPA council members on Friday October 29, 2010. She told the Times that only 55 names would fit on one page.
According to Dr. Dardard, LPA President Kelly Ray wrote back indicating that any petition for a special meeting must state the exact nature of the business to be conducted. Also, each of the 55 people who agreed to sign for a special meeting will be required to send a separate memo or verification with his or her signature.
Dr. Dardard indicted to the Times that some of those signing the petition are presently involved in discussions as to the best and most useful resolutions, including discussion about a proposal for an open forum. She said, this would be facilitated by an IO psychologist and address conflicts regarding Act 251, to help bring the community together.
