SIOP is now accepting nominations for Society Fellow status until November 1, 2019. Detailed procedures for nominating SIOP Fellows are available on the SIOP website.

SIOP Fellow nominees can come from all I-O areas and from all employment settings. SIOP recognizes several bases for Fellowship: research, teaching, practice, administration, and professional service. The common criterion in every case is “demonstrated outstanding contribution.” Fellowship is recognition by one’s peers for that contribution. Fellow nominees must be endorsed by at least three (3) SIOP Fellows. Members do not nominate themselves; they must be nominated by another SIOP Member or Fellow who coordinates the submission of the required nomination materials (https://www.siop.org/Membership/SIOP-Fellowship).  

The SIOP Annual Conference brings together thousands of I-O psychologists from around the world to network, share knowledge, and form lifelong professional associations.

With so many submissions for #SIOP20, we need an abundance of reviewers! The SIOP 2020 Program Committee requests your help to build another top-notch, peer-reviewed conference program in Austin, Texas. You are an I-O expert, and Team SIOP needs your reviews of submissions.
