Ryan Stubblefield, Psy.D., Treasurer
This year the Executive Committee is operating as a collective president and has been jointly sharing in the responsibilities of the president. Our past President, Candice Turner, has shouldered the majority of those responsibilities, and I would like to acknowledge her significant ongoing contribution to the organization. I write this report as Treasurer and member of the Executive Committee, a role I stepped into this past January.
Overall, NCSPP is doing well in its core programming, continuing to offer a rich selection of education, events, and study groups that are well attended and well reviewed by those who participate. The Education Committee, chaired by Natasha Oxenburgh, the Intensive Study Group Committee, chaired by Sullivan Oakley, and the Community Mental Health Committee, chaired by Katherine Eng, are generating exciting programming for 2025–2026, and I encourage you to look into what is in store for next year.
Perhaps the most exciting news we have is that in 2026, we are bringing back the Annual Lecture event! The Annual Lecture has been a pillar of NCSPP's programming for as long as I have been involved. I well remember attending in 2018 as a representative of the Membership Committee, and it still resonates in my memory as one of the best professional events I have ever attended. At the time of this writing, we are working on very exciting developments for the format of the event and have a dynamic speaker lined up. We can't wait to share with you what we have planned.
The Annual Lecture was in some ways a casualty of the pandemic and the organizational processes that followed. A lot has changed since then, and as an organization, we are ready to fully embrace a post-pandemic paradigm and reinstate our headline event. This year we are inviting you to come back out, join us in an auditorium, and be not just minds together but also “bodies together,” as Gillian Isaacs-Russell puts it.
