In a December 11 letter to members of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) current president Dr. Donald Meck and others wrote that Dr. Stephen DeMers notified the Board of Directors of his wish to retire effective in September 2018.
The letter notes that Dr. DeMers served as the delegate from Kentucky at ASPPB Annual Meetings starting in the mid 1980’s, chaired the first Model Act of Directors in 1992, and was elected President elect of ASPPB in 1995, then serving as President and Past President. In 1997, Dr. DeMers accepted a part–time consulting position with ASPPB as Director of the Certification program and worked to develop, promote and launch ASPPB’s Certificate of Professional Qualification (CPQ).
He was selected as the CEO in August 2005 and has worked to promote professional mobility services such as credentials banking, interjurisdictional practice mechanisms, PSYPACT and many other programs and services like collection of psychology workforce data and development of the new assessment of professional skills portion of the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP Part 2), according to the announcement.
