SCP Executive Board Candidate Statements

As Past President and Coordinator of Elections, I welcome you to the SCP Elections Webpage.  I hope that you will spend some time on this page learning about the AWESOME candidates for elected office this year in SCP!

Each year we elect leaders for the positions up for re-election in that particular year,  This is a big year for us, as many leaders in their 3-year terms are  finishing up this year.  MANY THANKS to all of them for sharing their time and talents on behalf of SCP!

Below you will find information for each candidate running for a particular office (listed in alphabetical order).  The actual voting will take place via APA ballot, which you should receive in several weeks.  I will make sure to follow up APA’s announcement with one from SCP, so that if you don’t get access to your ballot you will know to request assistance from APA.

As you prepare to vote, we encourage you to set aside some time to do this 3-step process:

1. Read the statements and learn about each of the candidates and the vision they have for SCP and our work on addressing anti-Black racism.
2. Take time to reflect on how your personal biases are shaping your voting process. For instance, ask yourself, are you identifying with a candidate based on your shared identities, your CP lineage and/or friendships, and/or are you overlooking practitioner experience? Are there any other biases you can name before you vote?
3. VOTE before May 14th!!

We know this may sound like a different message from our previous years, and that is very intentional so we give each candidate a fair shake.

Lastly, we value and believe in each of our SCP members who have stepped up with a powerful vision to lead in SCP – so we offer deep gratitude to Tiffany Williams, Marissa Floro, Jacks Cheng, Evelyn Hunter, Cisco Sánchez, Thomandra Shavaun Sam, Bedford Palmer, II, Shavonne Moore-Lobban, Bongjoo Hwang, Adisa Anderson, and Lisa Ferdinand. We can’t wait to see how each of you leads in our division forward in the future!

With love, solidarity, and in liberation as we strengthen our beloved community,

Anneliese Singh, SCP Past President
