- Collaborating with organizations that want to become APA-approved sponsors.
- Providing review of all sponsors and organizations seeking APA sponsor approval.

The Committee seeks to assemble a diverse group of psychologists. It encourages nominations from individuals who are committed to the concept of life-long learning, and is specifically looking for individuals with knowledge of or background in psychopharmacology, legal/ethical issues, substance abuse/addictions, humanistic psychology, private practice, I/O psychology, and psychologists employed in academic settings and counseling centers. CPEC is committed to maintaining a diverse and broad representation from all groups and areas of psychology.
