Chapter Input and CPSP Leadership by Mary Davis
CPSP, as per our Covenant, commits to “being mutually responsible to one another for our professional work and direction”.
All CPSP chapters have an opportunity at this time to take responsibility for the future direction of CPSP as we prepare to appoint the next CPSP President-Elect, who would take leadership of CPSP at the 2012 Plenary. The By-Laws of CPSP (Section 5.02) note that “chapter input will be sought in the selection of future nominations for President.” The Executive Committee of CPSP receives the names of these suggested future leaders, presents the names at the Annual Plenary, and the Governing Council (made up of leaders and chapter conveners/representatives of all chapters) appoints the next President-Elect.
We urge all chapters to dialogue and discern together to submit names of persons who could serve in this most important leadership role for our future.
Some questions to be considered by the chapters or those who are being suggested for this role are: Are you willing to service in this role, and if so, what is your interest in doing so? What gifts do you bring to leadership for CPSP? How do you envision CPSP in two/three years?
Please submit names for consideration to Raymond Lawrence and Francine Angel (outgoing President) by December 31, 2009.
