In honor of Veterans Day, SIOP is proud to announce a new initiative that applies I-O evidence-based research to the transition of service members to the civilian workforce.

This effort is a collaboration between Lewis-Burke Associates LLC and the Government Relations Advocacy Team (GREAT) at SIOP. Lewis-Burke will spearhead the government relations outreach, connect with key policymakers, and seek opportunities to profile I-O findings to federal stakeholders interested in veterans’ transition. These efforts will be in close collaboration with an expert SIOP team led by Adam Kabins that includes Meredith Kleykamp, Julia Bayless, Peter Reiley, and Chris Stone. The team will coordinate SIOP efforts and I-O research and practice findings relevant to the transition of veterans to the workplace; they will provide timely feedback and expertise to Lewis-Burke on pressing federal issues as they arise.

After accepting the ceremonial gavel from outgoing president Talya Bauer, Eden King spoke from the heart about her presidential vision during the 34^th Annual SIOP Conference closing plenary.

She used her brief remarks to highlight issues of diversity and inclusion that are important both nationally and to the Society, issues her body of work makes her eminently qualified to address.

I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend the Master’s Student Consortium at this year’s SIOP annual conference in National Harbor, MD. This was my first time attending the SIOP conference in any capacity, and the consortium was a great way to kick-start this experience with a smaller dose of networking and educational sessions before the main conference.

Have your morning coffee over a live conversation with Dr. Ann Marie Ryan. In the twelfth conversation of this web based audio series, the prominent I-O psychologist will share information about her background, work, and insights on the field.
