They are surprisingly easy to engage, and always return phone calls and letters. I am proud to be helping attain mandated benefits status for LMFTs in Virginia. The most enjoyable part of serving on board has been getting to know the other members. This is easy to do on carpooling trips to Richmond. As we all know, doing therapy can be an isolating experience, so it has been important for me to have social outlets apart from my work.
Board members are fun, resourceful, and energetic.
Besides working on legislative issues, we have planned a clinical conference, which gave me the opportunity to contact interesting people who might do presentations. Overall, board membership has permitted me to learn about the legislative process, travel to historic places, and meet great people. I highly recommend the experience, and welcome anyone who would like to join us. Nonmembers who are seeking to employ an MFT can post a job description and search through resumes of MFTs currently seeking employment. Please include your name and address on your email.
