Section Bylaws:
CPA Section of Psychologists and Retirement By-Laws (June 2014)
Mission Statement:
The Section of Psychologists and Retirement will provide a forum for psychologists who are currently retired from their professional employment in the field of psychology and/ or those who are interested in the area of retirement as a life stage, to discuss the impact of retirement on post-work quality of life and the opportunities it affords those who are open to change. Towards that end, the Section will:
- Provide a social support network for retired psychologists within CPA
- Provide information to members about planning for retirement, and what one needs to know to prepare for the next stage of life
- Determine ways to maintain connections to the discipline of psychology while not actively practicing in it
- Research the literature and possibly publish articles in the area of seniors and retirement
- Explore issues impacting seniors, such as downsizing, living arrangements, health and caregiver issues, use of leisure time
- Discuss the value of, and ways to become involved in, volunteerism in the community
- Represent the interests of the Section within CPA through initiating such activities as position papers, guidelines, policy statements, and special meetings
- Organize sessions at the CPA Convention that are of interest to members
