I started the Spring issue by stating: I hope this issue of the newsletter finds you all enjoying the record temperatures around the country this spring. Seems I can start this summer’s issue with the same sentiment. Although Atlanta may not be first on some people’s list of places to go to avoid the summer heat, the convention is shaping up to be another informative get together. There are many great sessions on the program. And there are always wonderful opportunities to connect with old colleagues and meet new ones.
This year’s convention takes place as the same time as the London Olympic Games. Division 47 will have some special programming to highlight the role of sport & performance psychology in preparing athletes for the Games. The APA monitor
recently published a short article on this as well.
In this issue we highlight the Division 47 programming that will be part of the convention. There are many events throughout the convention for old timers and new attendees alike. There are also great sessions through other divisions as well. You will be rewarded if you take the time to look through the APA Online Convention Program.
As before, I would also like to put out a call for short articles, thought pieces, point-counterpoint articles, etc. to be included in upcoming issues. I’d like to make the newsletter more informative and something worth looking forward to. If you have any ideas, please pass them along.

Okay, in case you forgot where this year's 120th APA Annual Convention is being held, let me give you a few hints: a talking mouse, lots of sunshine, and tons of fun things to do
for everyone!
That's right, the 2012 APA Annual Convention is in Orlando, Fla., from August 2-5. And at this year's convention, Division 47 is featuring many exciting programs and events including:
• Dr. Jim Pivarnik will deliver the ACSM Exchange Lecture on the role of physical activity and post-partum weight retention. Dr. Pivarnik's talk is also featured as part of the APA Presidential Programming on Obesity.
• Dr. Rick McGuire will receive this year's Bruce Ogilvie Award for Distinguished Contributions to Professional Practice.
• Dr. Richard Lapchick will deliver the Steven R. Heyman Memorial Keynote, titled "Power of Sport to Achieve Positive Change."
In addition to the above, featured programming, this year's program comprises a mix of clinical and research symposia, conversation hours, and paper and poster sessions. Below a few examples of the exciting 2012 APA Convention lineup:
• Invited Symposium titled, "mTBI Moving Forward: Perspective from Sport, Military and Rehabilitation," co-chaired by Dr. Anthony Kontos and Dr. Kim Gorgens and featuring Dr. Frank Webbe.
• Symposium on Extended Outlook on Effort Perception: From Description to Manipulation of Exertive Sensations by Dr. Gershon Tenenbaum and colleagues.
• Symposium titled, "On Point: Issues Consulting With Ballet" by Dr. Kate Hays and colleagues.
• Conversation Hour titled, "Sport Psychology in the Olympics," that will feature sport psychology professionals who have worked with Olympic athletes and teams.
• Three Paper Sessions featuring: 1) Psychology of Injury, Eating Disorders and Aggression; 2) Professional, Academic and Development issues in Sports Psychology; and 3) Behavior, Motivation, and Self.
• Speed Mentoring Café for students.
• And as always, Ray's Race will take place on Saturday morning. I challenge Division 47 members to participate in the race this year. We may not all be the fastest runners, but we will certainly be able to "get into the heads" of our competitors!
Again this year, as every year, we would not have a peer-reviewed program without the tireless work of our 2012 Program Review Committee members:Mark Aoyagi, Amy Athey, Kimberlee Bonura, Justine Chatterton, Laura DiPasquale, R.J. Elbin, Tami Eggleston, Scott Goldman, Elizabeth Loughren, Renee Newcomer Appaneal, Cassandra Pasquariello, Steve Portenga, Selen Razon, Troy Rieck, Sherry Schweigert, Christine Selby, Gershon Tenenbaum and Steven Wininger.
As usual, the reviewers did an excellent job, and are to be commended for their work. Thanks to everyone who reviewed!
We look forward to seeing you in the "Magic Kingdom" of the 120th Annual
APA Convention!

Fellow status in the American Psychological Association is bestowed upon individuals who have made unusual and outstanding contributions to the field of psychology. (See www.apa.org/membership/fellows.html)
The minimum standards for Fellowship under the APA Bylaws are:1. The completion of a doctoral degree in psychology or related field from regionally accredited institution;2. Prior membership as an APA Member for at least one year and being a Member of the division;3. Active engagement at the time of nomination in the advancement of psychology in any of its aspects;4.

Nomination by one of the divisions in which member status is held.
In addition Division 47 requires: 1) Membership in Division 47 for a minimum of three years; 2) Substantial contribution to the field of sport and exercise psychology
Achieving Fellow Status is an arduous process. It requires recommendation by three endorsers who are Fellows of APA. It requires a positive recommendation by the Division 47 Fellow Review Committee and the fellows on the Executive Committee. Finally the successful nominees are forwarded to the APA Fellow Review Committee who makes recommendation to the Board of Directors with final approval coming from the Council of Representatives. If you think you have the qualifications or know of someone you would like to recommend, contact Fellow Committee Chair, Ed Acevedo, Ph.D.
