Leadership

As a subset of the Society of Pediatric Psychology's Diversity Committee, the Diversity SIG is comprised of approx. 80 members of the Society of Pediatric Psychology with interests in justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Members are in various stages of their careers and include students, interns, post-doc, and faculty. The Diversity SIG leadership is currently comprised of 2 co-chairs, 1 secretary, and 2 student board members. A brief description of each member and their leadership is below:

SIG Co-Chairs

Co-chairs serve a 3-year term and provide overall leadership for the SIG. They work closely with the Diversity Member-At-Large for Division 54, the Diversity Committee, SIG Secretary, and SIG Trainee Members-At-Large to communicate with, provide resources to, and develop initiatives with and for SIG membership related to the mission of the Diversity SIG.
