“These conferences are not housed in any particular organization. This was decided purposefully. The initial organizers wanted the conferences to respond to the interest, resources and energy of community psychology”
Irma Serrano-García
The energy and commitment of many people over the years has ensured the success of the conferences. While the lists below detail the members of the organising committees from each country, it is also acknowledged that in most cases there are volunteers, students, international networks, and institutional and community support that have been integral in bringing the conferences to life.
