Drs. Carolyn Weyand, Judith Stewart and John Fanning are organizing a new group called the New Orleans Regional Psycholo- gists, or NORP. The gathering is set for Friday, July 8, 7-9 pm.
All psychologists are welcome.
“Our first goal,” Dr. Weyand told the Times, “is to establish a viable fellowship of psychologists in the greater New Orleans region.”
She explained that the organizers hope to “develop a professional society to facilitate psychologists’ entry into professional affairs in Louisiana,” and also to “give local psychologists a voice.”
She and the other organizers hope that this will help with “reciprocal exchanges of information between the local level and the state level,” she said.
She added that another objective is to “provide a forum for local networking…” and one that also “opens discussions among psychologists in which they can air concerns.”
The first meeting is to be at the home of Dr. Kim VanGeffen who “…graciously opens her home to us,” said Carolyn.
