Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful summer.   A lot has happened over the past month and EB CAMFT has busily been trying to keep up and remain active with the recent State CAMFT Bylaw changes.  We have heard from several Chapter members who have emailed, attended Board meetings and/or  made personal calls informing us of their concerns and questions regarding the bylaws.  We appreciate your voice and continue to solicit your input so that we can serve you best and stay informed about the needs of our Chapter.  Most recently the Board sent a letter to Jill Epstein and the State Board reinstating our position about nullifying the recent vote and beginning the process over to include more dialogue and input from members.  On July 27th there was a great turnout in Marin for the meeting with Jill and 2 other State Board members.  If you were unable to attend the meeting, you are able to watch a video of the meeting on YouTube.  http://youtu.be/Z8KginNfcDk

Fall is around the corner and the Board has begun conversations about upcoming elections.  Now is a great time to consider ways you can become more active in EB CAMFT and participate in creating changes that are in line with our members’ needs.  We will have several positions open and welcome your application to serve as a Board member.  Feel free to email me at kellymsharp@gmail.com if you are interested or have questions about the details.

The next EB CAMFT Board meeting is Friday, August 16th from 4-6pm.  We will continue discussions of the bylaw changes, revisit hosting another social and begin strategizing for building a strong Chapter Board in the next year.  We welcome your input and attendance.
