Invest in Your Profession!
TPA-PAC (Political Action Committee) is an essential part of advocating for doctoral psychology. The voluntary, non-partisan organization is dedicated to contributing to legislative campaigns so that TPA is a familiar face during legislative sessions. If psychology is your profession, politics is your business. Decisions about every aspect of our industry are made by elected officials. By pooling individual contributions, the TPA-PAC is able to:
- IMPACT the Texas legislative process
- EDUCATE elected officials about the doctoral standard and mental health issues
- ENSURE the future of your profession
Laws and legislative actions impact your day-to-day operations. How can you make a difference?
