BraVada Garrett-Akinsanya Distinguished Elders Award for Leadership in Minnesota Psychology

The 2024 Award Nomination period is now closed.

At the Annual Conference in April, MPA will hold a recognition ceremony to honor elders who have made significant contributions to mental health in Minnesota through their roles as scholars, teachers, mentors, practitioners, and/or advocates for rights and just causes. We ask MPA members to make nominations by describing in 100 words or less the impact of the nominee as a teacher, scholar, mentor, practitioner, and/or advocate. The nominations will be reviewed by the MPA Diversity Committee. 

All 2024 awards will be presented at the MPA Annual Conference on Thursday, April 4, 2024.
