#SCNStrategicPlan2022 survey results suggested that members like staying up to date on #neuropsychology issues, networking opportunities, and advocacy for #TheFutureofNeuropsychology with SCN's resources and connections through @APA. Members tend to be satisfied overall🧵 8/x

Survey respondents tended to feel moderately to very well represented. While this didn't differ by career status, BIPOC members were more likely to feel not well represented within SCN & EDI/pipeline issues were most important for members feeling better represented 🧵 10/x

Top 5 most important issues facing #neuropsychology included outdated normative data, lack of diversity, insurance reimbursement, poor understanding in the public of neuropsychology, &need for increased understanding of cross-cultural issues #SCNStrategicPlan2022 🧵 11/x
