The mission of the Institutional Inclusion, Equity, and Transformative Justice Working Group is to advance fair and equitable practices related to diversity, social justice, and inclusion within neuropsychological organizations, academic institutions, training sites and clinical practice settings. We also aim to advocate for interorganizational education, policy reforms, funding, representation, and stakeholder endorsement.

​

How We've Made an Impact So Far:​

1. We advocated for a more inclusive InterOrganizational Practice Committee (IOPC) structure that has a CNC delegate since 2020 and gained membership to advance practice issues in 2022  

2. We successfully advocated for a more inclusive Clinical Neuropsychology Synarchy Council structure that has CNC representation along with other identity organizations in our field: attended 2023 INS meeting and dues member

3. Three CNC delegates were chosen to be part of the Minnesota Update Conference Steering Committee in 2022 to advance neuropsychology training guidelines
