CPN Gets Official Launch

Home

Vol. 8, Issue 2 (Fall 2004)

The official launch of the Constructivist Psychology Network took place at the Memphis 2004 Gala Banquet.  This marks the official change in name from the North American Personal Construct Network (NAPCN) to CPN.

The change was heralded in by Jay Efran’s magic act, always a crowd pleaser in its own right.  This particular show featured a trick involving placards (carried by various members).  The placards collectively made up a number of alternative names that had been considered for NAPCN.  The trick ended with an unveiling of the CPN name on the placards, appearing as if by magic to great applause by everyone in attendance.

No sooner had the CPN ushered in its new name, and it was down to business.  Nominations (either of oneself or others) for positions of President, Secretary, and Members-at-Large (3 positions) are being are now being accepted.  There has already been interest shown for each of the positions, however further nominations will be accepted into the Spring of 2005.  Names that will officially appear on the ballots will be announced in Columbus at the 15th Congress.  Each candidate’s position statement will be included in the Fall 2005 issue of the Chronicle.
