ROGER CHAUVETTE

Dr. Chauvette is a respected school psychology practitioner, leader, and children’s advocate within his workplace and the professional associations to which he belongs. He exemplifies deep dedication to the profession of school psychology and enduring personal qualities.

Dr. Roger Chauvette contributed significantly to ISPA while serving as a co-convener of the memorable ISPA colloquium in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, a role he shared with his wife Fredda Chauvette. Dr. Chauvette also has provided important leadership and service to ISPA through his 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 Catterall. In this role he has helped colleagues from around the world attend the ISPA colloquia. As a result of his excellent stewardship, the Fund’s resources have increased and with this the amount of work associated with the Fund.  Dr. Chauvette’s timely and dedicated work have been consistent with the Fund’s mission.

The International School Psychology Association is fortunate to have him as an active member and leader, one who continues to contribute to the Association in important ways. The ISPA Distinguished Service Award is given to Roger Chauvette as a symbol of the Association’s appreciation for his continuing and distinguished service and commitment in promoting the values and aims of our Association.
