| It is a true pleasure to begin my term as your IPA President. We have had many highly respected members who have served in this position in the past, and I hope I can serve you as well as they all have. I am a strong supporter of the professional strength we create through IPA.
We expect to keep the education theme of IPA strong this year through our CE programs, our conferences, and even a new project with our Book Club. We will be monitoring the Legislative session that just started to continue to protect the psychology profession. We will be taking advantage of APA's planned update of the Ethics Code by preparing our thoughts and presenting them to APA. The current draft of the updated Ethics code is available here: https://apps.apa.org/APACommentingPortal/ and is open for commentary until March 19, 2025. Please consider adding your voice to this important update process by sharing your comments with our Executive Director, Dick Rhoad (execdirector@indianapsychology.org) who will consolidate one response from IPA.
We appreciate all the long-term members we have, and we are pleased to welcome all our new members to IPA. We believe we all continue to benefit from our professional relationships and our consistent direction.
I look forward to 2025 and to supporting all of you. Whenever you become aware of other supports IPA can provide, please let us know.
My best to all for 2025.

| APA Review of Ethics Code |
The Ethics Code Task Force (“ECTF”), a task force of the APA Ethics Committee, seeks your comments to ensure that a new draft Ethics Code: Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (“draft Ethics Code” or “draft Code”) meets the needs of the profession and the discipline of psychology. The ECTF was charged with creating a draft Code that is visionary and transformational and remains a leading practical resource for ethics in psychological science, education and practice while retaining those aspects of our Ethics Code that serve the public, discipline, and profession.
The new draft, as well as the system for providing comments, is available here: https://apps.apa.org/APACommentingPortal/
It has been over twenty years since APA’s current Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct was adopted. This new draft Code is designed to be the Ethics Code for the profession and the discipline and cover the wide variety of roles and responsibilities of psychologists working with individuals, groups, organizations, communities, and systems. It incorporates scientific and technological advances, growth in psychology as a field, and the importance of diversity and culture, and social justice. In addition to any comments you have, the ECTF is particularly interested in your comments concerning the relevance and adequacy of the proposed draft for your area of work. Please include helpful insights or examples concerning specific principles and standards.
The ECTF is seeking public comments on the initial draft Ethics Code for a 90-day period (until March 19, 2025). Comments will be reviewed and incorporated to strengthen the draft. Please consider adding your voice to this important update process by sharing your comments with our Executive Director, Dick Rhoad (execdirector@indianapsychology.org) who will consolidate one response from IPA.
