Dear Kathryn,

We are delighted to announce the founding of a new organization: The
International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA).  The purpose of this
organization is to promote the science and practice of positive psychology
and to facilitate communication and collaboration among researchers and
practitioners around the world who are interested in this new field.

This is a brand new organization, and we would like to extend a cordial
invitation to you to be among the very first to join.  We have been hard at
work developing the infrastructure for what will without question be a major
international organization.  Here are some highlights we wanted to share
with you:

-We have set up a website where you can find out more about IPPA and where
you can join today.  Please visit www.ippanetwork.org
<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=7031470&msgid=88104&act=&c=174806
&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ippanetwork.org>  to sign up as a
Charter Member, Charter Associate, or Charter Affiliate.

-IPPA is run by a Board of Directors comprised of leading positive
psychologists from around the world.  Visit the website for a full list of
the members of the Board, which includes such founding figures as Martin E.
P. Seligman and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

-On the website, you will see the categories of membership developed by the
IPPA Board of Directors.  We're excited that there is a category available
for everyone, whether you are a researcher, a practitioner, a student, or
someone who just wants to keep abreast of the latest developments in
positive psychology.

-You will also see the various membership benefits, including journals, an
IPPA Newsletter, and quarterly conference calls with leading figures in
positive psychology.

-The First World Congress of Positive Psychology has been scheduled for June
18-21, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.  IPPA members will receive a
discount on their Congress registration.

-In the coming days, we will be adding more content to the website, so be
sure to check back often.

If you have any questions about IPPA or your membership, please send them to
info at ippanetwork.org.

Please help us spread the word about IPPA by forwarding this email to any
groups or individuals you think might have an interest in joining this
exciting new association.

We look forward to having you join IPPA and to welcoming you into this
global positive psychology community.

Very best wishes,

Ed Diener, President
International Positive Psychology Association

James Pawelski, Executive Director
International Positive Psychology Association
