MASP Leadership and Committees
Getting Involved
Our lives are busy, we know! However, MASP is a volunteer organization that survives because people such as you know what it means to be proactive. You know what it means to advocate for students and know what it means to have a professional organization that supports the interests of school psychology. Continuing that legacy is our responsibility.
Typically, three of the six virtual Board meetings are held on the second Wednesday during the months of September, January, and May. Two of the Board meetings are held the night before the conferences: one in November that coincides with the Annual conference, and one in mid-March that coincides with the Spring conference. Over the summer, there is a Board meeting which is held as a summer retreat and varies in location and time according to the vote of the Board. Our Board meetings will be held on the following dates from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM:
Again, we encourage and welcome you to attend and participate in one of our Board meetings!
