Self-nominations for a position on the Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychology will close this Monday. Ms. Gail Lowe, Executive Director of the Louisiana Psychological Association (LPA) said that forms must be post-marked on Monday, November 5, or faxed in to the association by midnight. They should be sent to LPA Elections Committee at 1003 Leycester Drive, Baton Rouge, 70808.
Thus far, one person has self-nominated, according to Ms. Lowe. If less that four people self-nominate by Monday, a thirty-day period commences. Then, the election may be held with only two candidates.
Several undisclosed sources told the Times that Dr. John Courtney, current Vice Chair, may be resigning, which would leave two positions open on the board. However, this could not be confirmed by press time.
Dr. Lee Matthews will complete his term next spring, and has served since 2010.
An election will be held between qualified candidates, with licensed psychologists casting votes, and names will be submitted to the Governor.
