APA’s Task Force to Revise the Model Licensing Act

Judith Blanton

SIOP members Judith Blanton and Vicki Vandaveer will be serving on APA’s newly created Task Force to Revise the Model Licensing Act.  This group is charged with providing the Council of Representatives with an initial draft of a revised APA Model Act (to ultimately be approved by Council).  This document is designed to be used by states and provinces as they revise current licensing laws and regulations.  Judy and Vicki’s nominations are notable in that they were nominated by a group of divisions including SIOP and Divisions 5, 13, 19 and 21.  The first meeting of the Task Force is in October.  SIOP members who have ideas or concerns in this area should contact them at jblanton@rhrinternational.com and/or v3@vandaveer-group.com.
