In an effort to increase community presence, collaboration, and accessibility the Mississippi Psychological Association (MPA) has developed a Speaker's Bureau.

As most of you know, MPA established a PAC several years ago. PAC's have become an essential part of the political landscape, and political giving is an essential component in this process. We know that many of you may not fully understand the nature and purpose of the PAC, so we are writing you to explain why we have one, and who can contribute.
The Mississippi Psychological Association (MPA) is a voluntary, member organization and does not determine or guarantee the competence of any psychologist listed in this directory or elsewhere on the MPA website. These listings are based on information provided by the members and not by MPA or the Mississippi Board of Psychology (the Board), the regulatory agency for the practice of psychology in Mississippi.
