Rocky Mountain Psychological Association

See you at the 2024 Annual Convention in Denver, Colorado!

It is with a heavy heart that the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association announces the passing of Dr. Richard L. Miller. The RMPA Executive Committee would like to thank Dr. Miller for his over 30 years of leadership and guidance in making this organization better. Rick Miller served in many capacities including President, Program Manager, Teaching Pre-conference Organizer, and more recently Historian/Archivist. His efforts and long hours of dedication helped RMPA evolve into a dynamic and well-respected regional conference. As attendees moved from session to session, Rick was a constant presence. In today’s world of “Influencers”, the ribbons draping from Rick’s RMPA name tag were just one example of how much he influenced the organization. For years, Rick worked to bring in top level speakers, represented the organization at national meetings, and was one of RMPA’s greatest enthusiasts. The Executive Committee wanted to say thank you for everything Rick has meant to RMPA. As an organization and as your friends we will forever be impacted by your commitment. You will be deeply missed.

As we have previously shared, Professor Richard L. Miller passed away June 30, 2023. Professor Miller was a longtime RMPA contributor who served in many roles, including President, Archivist/Historian, and Teaching Conference Coordinator. A celebration of Dr. Miller’s life will occur at the 2024 RMPA conference.

The Rocky Mountain Psychological Association condemns racial injustice, racism, prejudice and hatred in any form. We align with the American Psychological Association’s stance on these matters, and feel it is our duty as psychologists to support those affected by racial injustices, to research possible solutions, and educate others to promote change. Please take a moment to read the statement “We are Living in a Racism Pandemic” by the current APA President, Sandra L. Shullman, PhD.

Thank you to our 2023 sponsors and exhibitors:
