The Psychology Times 2019 COMMUNITY AWARD INVOLVEMENT Hung-Chu Lin, PhD Paula Zeanah, PhD –AND– The LPA Awards Committee Chair, Mike Chafetz, PhD
Another tie. We watched as Dr. Hung-Chu Lin, Professor of Psychology at University of Louisiana Lafayette (ULL) and Dr. Paula Zeanah, psychologist and Endowed Chair at ULL, organized and engaged others from around the state for the first "Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Summit." A huge, interdisciplinary event and complete success at building connections and reaching out to spread information where it is needed most.
We were also impressed by the leadership in the LPA Awards Committee, lead by Dr. Michael Chafetz, for recreating the state association's awards system to acknowledge contributions far beyond the boundaries of their members, but rather involving all psychologists and psychological scientists in the state as candidates for recognition of excellence.
Kudos to both for stepping up and embracing the larger picture by involving others and widening the lens!
