THE ISPA AWARD 1999

FREDDA CHAUVETTE

Fredda Chauvette was a co-convener of the memorable ISPA colloquium of 1990 in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, sharing the leadership responsibilities with her husband, Dr. Roger Chauvette.

Fredda Chauvette also has provided important leadership and service to ISPA through her role as co-chair of the Calvin D. Catterall Financial Aid Fund, a heritage founded in memory of one of ISPA's founders, Dr. Calvin D. Catterall. In this role she has helped colleagues from around the world attend the ISPA colloquia.

As a result of her excellent stewardship, the Fund's resources have increased, and with it the amount of work associated with the Fund. Fredda's timely and dedicated work have been consistent with the Fund's mission.

Fredda is an admirable person, one who displays enthusiasm, positive thinking, and dedication for work. Fredda is a good listener and a friend to many. The Chauvette's house has always been open to colleagues and many have enjoyed their hospitality. Professionally, she remains an advocate for children within her work and the professional associations to which she belongs.

The International School Psychology Association is fortunate to have Fredda as an active member who continues to contribute to the betterment of our Association. The ISPA Distinguished Service Award is given to Fredda as a symbol of the Association's appreciation for her continuing and distinguished service and commitment in promoting the values and aims of our Association.
