SPL MISSION STATEMENT

The Society of Psychologists in Management unites psychologists committed to creating extraordinary organizations. SPL translates research and real world experience into practices that empower members to be impactful and effective leaders, coaches and consultants. SPL events are a safe environment to discuss challenges, formulate solutions, and receive support through rich learning experiences. SPL values camaraderie, wisdom, and scientific rigor in the service of transforming leaders and organizations.

SPL DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

The Society of Psychologists in Management values, respects and affirms diversity, equity, and inclusion. We oppose racism and discrimination in all of their forms. We understand that African Americans, people of color, the LGBTQIA community, people with disabilities, and women are marginalized within our institutions through policies that impose systemic inequities.  We urgently and emphatically support equity both within our professional communities and across sectors.

Through SPL’s organizational operations, membership, and programs, we commit to the following:

  • To seek out and respect diverse voices
  • To ensure that our board of directors and membership leaders are held accountable for ensuring that our systems and processes support inclusive input
  • To place equity at the forefront of our work and advocate for equitable access to leadership opportunities at executive levels
  • To share power through inclusive decision making that addresses historical inequities
  • To demonstrate antiracist ideology and actions that confront and challenge systemic racism and oppression
  • To embrace this framework; continue learning related to DEI, social justice, and related constructs; and to bring this mindset into both our roles as psychologist leaders and our professional activities.
