The Industrial Organizational Psychologist 5

It is a fantastic time to be an I-O psychologist. Perhaps
you saw one of the articles that appeared online
(http://abcnews.go.com/Business/americas-20-fastest
-growing-jobs-surprise/story?id=22364716) or the
SIOP press release (https://www.siop.org/
article_view.aspx?article=1219#.Uw5URRYhzdk). The
Bureau of Labor Statistics identified “industrial-
organizational psychologist” as the fastest growing
occupation with a projected 2012–2022 growth rate of
53%. I have also heard anecdotally that many I-O doc-
toral programs experienced an increase in the number
of applications for fall 2014 admissions. The demand
for training and jobs looks bright.

It is an even better time to be a member of SIOP!! The
annual conference is around the corner in our most excit-
ing venue yet and is jam packed with outstanding con-

want to provide some updates with regard to the priori-
ties and objectives I listed in my closing plenary address.
In that address I described five objectives.

1. Strengthen the connection between SIOP and local
I-O groups.

Over the past several years I, had the pleasure of giv-

ing talks to various local I-O groups. Attending these
meetings has always been a great experience. Mem-
bership often includes individuals who do not regularly
attend the annual SIOP conference or who may not
even be SIOP members. The meetings can be an espe-
cially important means of interaction for those in prac-
tice who may be the only people in their organization
