The Board of Directors at Florida Industrial and Organizational Psychology (FIOP) will have a special meeting at 4:00pm on Thursday, May 12 via Zoom. The special meeting is going to cover two major launches. 

Firstly is the launch of FIOP's Experiential Learning program. Under a new Vice President of Experiential Learning (VPEL), FIOP interns will conduct various internships from marketing, research, and operations, to community service initiatives with other non profit organizations and institutions. 

Secondly, the launch of the highly anticipated Data Sciences Division. Under the leadership of FIOP's Chief Data Scientist (CDS) the division will encompass the organization's research, writing, publication, and science application functions. Within this proposal includes the provision for an institutional review board (IRB), as well as a long-term plan for a peer-reviewed scholarly journal. 

At this special meeting, Dr. Joseph Ligato will deliver a presentation to the Board for their review and approval.
