MessageThe 2023 - 2027 Strategic Plan: Statement of Intent Preparing a Realistic Vision for the Future of NJPA

As NJPA turns the corner on a post-pandemic world, the strength of the organization is reflected within our versatility and vision for a sustainable future. An enhancement to our Continuing Education and Membership benefits are critical for our continued impact. Additional advocacy and governance policies ensure that we are the leading state psychological association on behalf of our membership while advancing the field of psychology. The NJPA strategic plan is a living document used to drive the association’s initiatives, and direct the activities of the Executive Board, leadership team and committee chairs. The plan shapes our communication with members and external partners on the association’s goals and the actions needed to achieve those goals. Our current strategic plan sunsets in December 2022. We are currently finalizing the 2023-2027 strategic plan.

The Four Pillars: Our Priorities

M E M B E R S H I P

Maintain a growing, engaged membership base by delivering value: NJPA membership dues account for the majority of incoming revenue. NJPA must maintain annual aggressive, widespread, and diverse retention and recruitment efforts to keep the association in existence.

A D V O C A C Y

Advance the science and profession of psychology through state and national relations: NJPA must maintain a presence at both the state and national level to be a strong voice for psychology. Access to quality mental healthcare and health equity advocacy efforts are what keep the profession of psychology in service and alive.

G O V E R N A N C E

Grow NJPA leadership to keep the association relevant: NJPA must maintain good governance and association management to provide the vision and direction to ensure that NJPA is on the right path.

C O N T I N U I N G ED.

Provide continuing education learning opportunities to promote excellence and professional development: Providing a robust continuing education calendar each year provides psychologists with their mandatory continuing education credits and contributes to the NJPA non-dues revenue needed to support the association.
