ARP continues to grow by leaps and bounds. We currently have over 300
members for the 2009 membership year, our largest roster ever. The
growing membership has helped us to take on a number of new
initiatives, including launching our first standalone conference this
summer in Evanston, and partnering with several other organizations to
launch the new journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.
Many of you have probably noticed that we are now handling
memberships and conference registrations through a third-party service
called 123signup.com. We had a few kinks to work through as we
redirected members and moved records from our old system, but the end
result is a much smoother system to process payments (especially
credit card payments), and to allow you to make address changes and
other updates online. You can access the membership center by going to
the ARP website (www.personality-arp.org) and clicking "Join/Renew,"
and then following the appropriate link for new or existing members.
Last but not least, the Secretary/Treasurer reins were recently handed
over to Lynne Cooper (cooperm[at]missouri.edu). Lynne is the person to
contact with any questions related to membership, conference registration, or
other financial or recordkeeping matters. During the transition time,
outgoing Secretary/Treasurer Sanjay Srivastava (sanjay[at]uoregon.edu)
will be happy to handle any queries related to transactions through the
first part of 2009.
