The Rocky Mountian Psychological Association is governed by a six-member elected Executive Voting Board consisting of the President, President-Elect, Past-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Diversity Council Chair as well as two appointed voting members (Program Chair and Historian/Archivist) and one appointed non-voting (Convention Manager). RMPA was founded in 1930 for the purpose of advancing psychology as a science, as a profession and as a means of promoting human welfare in the States of Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. During April of each year a convention is held at various locations throughout the region at which scientific papers, posters and symposia are presented. Paper and internet submission is available to members, professionals, and students. Convention information, registration forms, as well as convention programs are available at the RMPA internet site (www.rockymountainpsych.org).
