VCPA LISTSERVE

The VCPA Listserve is a benefit that allows members to communicate directly with other members of the VCPA community. The purpose of the discussion group is to provide a forum for communication and discussion of topics related to the practice of psychology. The discussion group allows individual members to communicate with the entire group by sending an e-mail or by posting a message on the discussion group website. An invitation e-mail has been sent to all current members outlining procedures for joining the discussion group. If you have not received this invitation e-mail, or if you have questions about the e-mail discussion group, please contact our E-mail Discussion Group Administrator, Tim Brady Psy.D. at timbrady@pacbell.net.
