MOCPA is an inclusive association that welcomes a diverse membership.  Accordingly, there are five membership classes to accommodate a variety of professional and geographic situations:

​

FULL MEMBER: Full membership may be extended to licensed doctoral-level psychologists who are NJPA members and either work or reside in Monmouth or Ocean County.  Full members may vote and serve as officers and on committees.  They are listed in both the internal membership directory and the public membership directory published on the MOCPA website, and they may post and view classified advertisements.

ASSOCIATE MEMBER: Associate membership may be extended to (a) licensed doctoral-level psychologists who are not NJPA members and (b) licensed doctoral-level psychologists who do not work or reside in Monmouth or Ocean County.  Associate members may vote and serve on committees, but may not serve as officers.  They are listed in the internal membership directory, but not the public membership directory published on the MOCPA website.  They may post and view classified advertisements.

EMERITUS MEMBER:  Emeritus membership may be extended to those who have fully retired from the profession of psychology.  Emeritus members may vote and serve on committees, but may not serve as officers.  They are listed in the internal membership directory, but not the public membership directory published on the MOCPA website.  They may post and view classified advertisements.

AFFILIATE MEMBER:  Affiliate membership may be extended to licensed or license-eligible professionals who hold at least a master’s degree in a field other than psychology (e.g. social work, counseling) from an accredited institution.  Affiliate members may vote and serve on committees, but may not serve as officers.  They are listed in the internal membership directory, but not the public membership directory published on the MOCPA website.  They may post and view classified advertisements.

STUDENT MEMBER:  Student membership may be extended to graduate students in a psychologically related academic program from an accredited institution.  Student members may vote and may serve on committees, but may not serve as officers.  They are listed in the internal membership directory, but not the public membership directory published on the MOCPA website.  They may post and view classified advertisements.
