Complexities of Culture
Gitu Bhatia, Psy.D.
As the incoming president, it is my honor and privilege to lead this organization in the year ahead. LACPA has been a place for me to connect with a wide network of passionate and compassionate psychologists, students and other mental health and affiliated professionals. Through its many committees, special interest groups (SIGs), clubs, continuing education programs, and networking events, I have been able to share and learn from a vast knowledge base. This past year, at the State Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., I was impressed by the strength of our organization relative to many state organizations. Our strength is not only due to the large membership but also to the many benefits that support the varied interests and diverse needs of its members.
