The Psychology Times 2016 COMMUNITY AWARD INVOLVEMENT Dr. Courtland Chaney & Dr. William Costello
Things don’t happen unless people work together to make them happen. We could have called this the community psychology award. It goes to the individual or group that transcends the typical politics and subgroup differences, the lethargy, the apathy, and all the many obstacles that stand in the way of getting people together so that they can create a light bulb. The award goes to those who bring people together in a positive way, to honor the importance of team effort, mutual respect, and the diversity that is key to innovation and productivity.
This year we are delighted and yes, a bit surprised, by the magic dust that Dr. Courtland Chaney and Dr. William (Gig) Costelloe are sprinkling over the state, to bring together all sorts of people who are involved in IO psychology. It is a “build it and they will come” type of success. Congrats to these two on behalf of a much undernourished group in our community.
Dr. Courtland Chaney (L) shows David Geller some history about psychology in Louisiana, at an organizing meeting of industrial-organizational psychology professionals last year.
