Psychologists often step into leadership roles without formal training, despite possessing strong analytical and interpersonal skills. The KPA Leadership Academy presents a valuable opportunity to support members at all career stages, from graduate students to seasoned professionals. By fostering mentorship, it strengthens KPA’s leadership pathway and prepares members for influential roles within KPA and the community. Prioritizing diversity and inclusion ensures equitable representation in leadership, while cultivating advocacy skills enhances KPA’s legislative and public impact. This initiative not only supports leadership growth but also reinforces KPA’s role in shaping the future of psychology.
