Board reports finances in good standing, reminds licensees of June 30 CE deadline and approves convention bags

At its June 6, 2025, virtual meeting, the Mississippi Board of Psychology heard a treasurer’s report showing both the board and the Mississippi Autism Board operating within budget, received a continuing-education update and a reminder of the June 30, 2025, license renewal and CE reporting deadline, and approved purchasing promotional bags for the Mississippi Psychological Association convention in September 2025. Why it matters: Budget stability and the approaching license-renewal deadline affect board operations and licensees’ compliance; purchasing materials for the MPA convention signals the board’s outreach plans. Treasurer Kaye Sly, Ph.D., presented the budget and reported that both boards are operating within budget and that financial operations are “in good standing.” Lynwood Wheeler, Ph.D., continuing education coordinator, reported that license renewal and CE reporting are ongoing and reminded members that the deadline is June 30, 2025. Executive Director Stacie Sharp asked the board to approve purchasing bags to distribute at the Mississippi Psychological Association convention in September 2025; Monica Sutton moved to purchase the bags, Lynwood Wheeler seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The board did not provide a detailed budget breakdown in the public minutes; the treasurer’s summary was the extent of the financial report on the record. Looking ahead: Licensees should complete renewal and CE reporting by June 30, 2025. The board approved the bag purchase for MPA outreach; no dollar amount for the purchase was recorded in the meeting minutes.
