| What to watch out for in M2M this week:
Letter from the President Monday, July 13, 2026 Happy Summer Days to all of you! This is a light read this week since it is summer and many of you are enjoying a well-earned break. Do take a moment to read the section on upcoming event reminders. Leadership Updates: Great news! All primary positions have been filled. We are currently looking for assistants for each team. Executive Assistant is exactly that: someone open to learning about the administrative and financial aspects of the Chapter. Events Assistant is, again, just as it sounds: someone willing to learn each position on the team well enough to step in when we need backup for an event! Promotions Assistant is a bit more specific regarding qualifications. We are looking for someone who is tech-savvy and can troubleshoot online platforms with ease. Of course, there will be training to prepare you to step in if we need a substitute. Each assistant role requires that, if you're not substituting for a team member that month, you support one or more team members with their tasks for the month. That is, of course, after you have had the chance to shadow each team member and learn what they do! We are asking you to volunteer and serve at some level, with a minimum commitment of 5 hours per month. Updates & Upcoming Events: The Monthly 2 CE event on July 10th was the highest-attended event so far this year! There were over 40 people registered. Somatic therapy rocked it! The Walk and Connect event on July 11th had 5 registrants. Yay! It was absolutely beautiful weather. ☀️ We are co-sponsoring a 2-day, 7.5 CE event coming on July 31st & August 1st: Diagnostic Evaluation Writing for Immigrants! This is an important training that requires interactions with attorneys. You will receive much more than just the 2-day training. You will also have access to ongoing support groups with other experts who are doing the same type of report writing! You will not be abandoned by the trainers. On the contrary, ongoing consultations and refresher training will be made available at no cost. You really can't beat that! This is NOT counseling services! This is literally report writing and great pay! Your first report will pay for the 2-day training. Don't pass up this opportunity to create an additional income stream. We look forward to filling the room for this special event! Email or call Jason to register: therapistjfrey@gmail.com, 909-492-1212 (see flyer below for more information). Our next Monthly Meeting with an opportunity to gain 2 CE units is coming up on Friday, August 14th. This one is especially helpful for clinicians who already or would like to work with First Responders! Learn more here! Be sure to join us at the upcoming Job Fair on September 14th, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM! Register today as a TABLE HOST or ATTENDEE! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me personally or to any team member. Look on the website and select Contact Us! We have a photo, as well as a description of every role, listed on the website. Thank you for taking the time to read this! We appreciate each of you and your support of the Chapter!
