ABSTRACT
For the first time since the Union's formative years when it sponsored its first congress in Montreal in 1954, after the Union's founding in 1951 at the 13th international congress in Stockholm, preparations were underway for holding the 26th International Congress of Psychology once again in Montreal. Discussion of plans for the 1996 Montreal congress occurred at every meeting of the Executive Committee during the 4 years between Brussels and Montreal, as well as during the Assembly meeting in 1994 at the International Congress of Applied Psychology in Madrid. In addition, the newly reconstituted Executive Committee continued to move forward with new initiatives as well as execution of previous ones, using its expanded committee structure to carry them out.
