Another indication of our organizational willingness to change and grow is our Mid-Year Continuing Education Workshops. Several years ago, the Executive Committee determined a need for and interest in additional continuing education opportunities. Jack Kennedy has chaired an ad hoc committee whose goal was to develop this kind of workshop. Thanks to Jack's efforts, Mike Beer will present our first Mid-Year Continuing Education Workshop, Developing Organizations' Fitness to Compete, in Boston on October 20, 2000. Registration forms are included in this issue of TIP and can also be found on our web site.
Space is very limited so register soon.
Future Mid-Year Professional Development Workshops Karen Barbera will be leading this ad hoc committee for the coming two years and planning the next set of workshops. Please send her your ideas for future workshops. Revision of the Principles For several years, the SIOP Executive Committee has contemplated a revision of SIOP's Principles for the Validation and Use of Personnel Selection Procedures. When the latest revision of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Tests began, SIOP decided to defer its revision of the Principles. Now that the revision to the Standards has been published, it's time for SIOP to get busy on the Principles.
