THE ISPA AWARD 1999

BAYARD BARTLEY

Bayard Bartley never wanted to serve in any formal function within ISPA. Nevertheless, he is without a doubt a colleague who has served ISPA through various forms of service for more than two decades.

Bayard may be known by more people in different countries than any ISPA member. We all retain fond memories of this special person linking people by using song, including his ukulele, as an international form of communication among school psychologists. Over these years Bayard has recruited the most new members for our Association. For example, in Brazil, his sympathetic, happy, and enthusiastic qualities elicited more than 100 new ISPA members.

He works yearly to disseminate information about ISPA and obtain members at national and regional conferences within the United States. He opens his home to ISPA members, and facilitates cultural and professional exchanges for them. The new millennium will show us that life is to be lived with love, peace, happiness, and music. Bayard's personal and professional qualities exemplify these important qualities.

This award is a permanent reminder to us and to those who follow of Bayard's abiding commitment to school psychology and to our Association, and to his personal values.
