The psychology board will hold an open meeting March 14, 2012, at Louisiana Municipality Administration Building, 700 North 10th Street, in Baton Rouge.

Executive Director, Ms. Kelly Parker said that she is expecting a large group to attend, with past board members Drs. Tony Young, Janet Matthews, Joe Comaty, and others, and that the board is hoping to engage with psychologists on important issues. She said that two main issues will be discussion about changes to the continuing education rules and also the multi-level licensing. She said that she expects these two items to come early in the day.

In a previous interview, she told the Times, “We really want to hear what the psychology community has to say about these issues. We want to reach out and get their opinions to guide the decision-making.” She explained that in 2012 the board put together a multilevel licensure survey to gather information about key topics in the overall psychology community.

LSBEP board members Dr. Darla Burnett and Chair Dr. Lee Matthews work on office procedure details, such as Kinko’s copying costs, at a whole day work session last year.
