May 2025 Power presidential message

Dear POWER Members
 
Thank you to those of you who joined us at the POWER Meet Up at AERA and SRCD. It was great to see so many of you in person. I hope you all felt connected and supported! We engaged about 40 members at each event and members sported their POWER ribbons on their name badges for the duration of the conference. Keep an eye out for details for POWER Meet Ups for:
The Society for the Scientific Study of Reading (SSSR)
The Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness (SREE)
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)
The Literacy Research Association (LRA)
 
If you would like to host a POWER Meet Up at your favorite conference/meeting, please email me and we will help you organize the event.
 
POWER MERCH!
Congratulations to all of our new grads! While your grads will always be connected to you and your lab, help them connect to POWER, their early career networking organization. Support them to become members https://www.womeninedresearch.com/join.html
and perhaps, celebrate them with some POWER merch. https://www.womeninedresearch.com/merch.html
Or pick up some merch to wear at our next POWER Meet Up event!  Your purchase of POWER merch provides a small donation to POWER!
