The January CCAPS meeting was fantastic! Our current President, Dr. Georganna Leavesley presented a workshop on working with older adults with dementia. She taught the group about how to communicate with these individuals and their families with true sincerity, dignity, and compassion. We enjoyed some great food and fellowship as well. About 15 were in attendance including some prominent leaders of the Louisiana Psychological Association: Dr. Lucinda LaGrange (president) Gail Gillespie (Secretary), Charles Burchell (Treasurer), Kim VanGeffen (Professional Affairs Committee Chair), and Carolyn Weyand (Ethics Committee Chair). Please join us for future meetings. The next meeting, in March, will feature our current president-elect, Dr. Elaine Salzer.
