Call for New Family Process Institute Board Members
The Family Process Institute is an independent, multidisciplinary, transnational organization dedicated to the development and exchange of new theory, research, applied practice, and policy related to families and systems. The Institute sponsors and oversees the Family Process journal, and is governed by a board of directors. At this time, we are accepting nominations for persons interested in joining the Board of Directors. Board members join for a three year term, with the ability to renew once. The Board meets two weekends a year, one in April and one in November, at rotating cities. Travel expenses to board meetings are covered by the Family Process Institute. In addition to providing stewardship of the journal and a creative sounding board for the Family Process editor(s), the board is also responsible for the creation and implementation of a strategic plan for the Family Process Institute. Key components of this plan currently include a strategy to provide pilot grant funding for early career professionals working in areas connected to the mission of the institute; providing scholarly mentoring to professionals interested in writing or reviewing for the journal; and reaching out to international colleagues in South America and Asia.
If you are interested in nominating yourself or a colleague, please send a letter of intent as well as a current CV to Nadine Kaslow, PhD, President of the Family Process Institute, at: nkaslow@emory.edu.
