Award for Distinguished Contributions to Independent or Institutional Practice in the Private Sector

This category recognizes outstanding service delivery by recognizing the psychologist who has provided leadership in changing the profession, its public image, and its public acceptance. Contributions in public and professional arenas involving legislative, political, and legal patterns of service delivery and reimbursement changes that contribute to the development of the profession are considered. Significant contributions of work done in professional or public organizations as a psychologist at the national, state, or local level may be recognized. In previous years, this award was called the Award for for Distinguished Contributions to Applied Psychology as a Professional Practice. The name was changed in 2003 to better describe this award.
