Dec 2006: KARE PROJECT RECOGNIZED WITH
NATIONAL AWARD
by
Clif Boutelle, SIOP
In the aftermath of the devastation inflicted by Hurricane Katrina
in 2005, Steven Rogelberg led a SIOP effort in creating KARE
(Katrina Aid and Relief Effort) so that I-O psychologists could
provide support and assistance to the storm’s business community
victims.
SIOP was joined by the Society of Consulting Psychology in
mobilizing nearly 50 volunteer I-O and consulting psychologists to
help hurricane-affected businesses recover or rebuild.
That effort has resulted in the American Society of Association
Executives and the Center for Association Leadership naming SIOP to
its 2007 Associations Advance America Honor Roll.
The award recognizes associations, which develop programs that move
America forward with innovative projects, skills training, standards
setting, business and social innovation and community service.
“SIOP’s KARE project truly embodies the spirit of the Associations
Advance America campaign. It’s an honor and an inspiration to
showcase this activity as an example of how an association or
society can contribute to our society,” said Charles McGrath, chair
of the Associations Advance America committee.
“There was a great need to assist SIOP members and student
affiliates affected by the storm as well as businesses, workers and
workplaces damaged or devastated by Katrina,” said John Fennig,
current KARE chair.

July 2006:
(consultation with a City on a Director hire for which we are doing
the selection assessements) Before I forget to do this, I want
to shoot you an email and tell you
how impressed I was with Heather
last week! She did an absolutely wonderful job on her
own in our meeting about the PWD. She was prepared, professional,
poised and in full command of the information and feedback. I was
so pleased with how well she did – I look forward to working with
her on other projects.
Thanks! Pam
