I have to miss another meeting. I'm attending the NAMI walk May 7. :(On Apr 18,

Dear brothers/sisters: First, let me remind you that the next division
meeting.. The date is May 7, 2016 (Saturday) from 11 am to 1 pm at the
Lawrenceville Public Library (2751 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648).
Please, rsvp by 5/2/16 if you plan for the right number of refreshments and
copies. NJCA assigns limited funds to cover for these expenses. Second, we
have successful presentations at the White Privilege Conference in Philadelphia
on Friday 4/15/2016. There was some increased turnout from the morning session
to the afternoon session indicating the significance given by the audience to
the topic being presented: counselors' imperative work with discrimination,
oppression, micro-aggressions, and privilege. The morning session showcased
the work done by community leaders in Princeton in conjunction with NJAMC past
president Roberto Schiraldi and the afternoon session was carried out by our
division and centered around the strategy of broaching and non-violent
communication strategies. Special thanks to Sherrita Hughes for her
collaboration during the afternoon session. We also presented two workshops at
the NJCA conference which were held back to back on 5/15/2016 from 1:15 pm to
4:30 pm. Similarly to the Philadelphia conference, the turnout was excellent
for the first workshop on micro-aggressions and even better for the 2nd
workshop (topic of broaching). According to the volunteer who monitored
attendance for the conference, our 2nd workshop was the one with the highest
attendance at the NJCA conference. Once again, the high turnout demonstrates
the increasing demand and significance of these training topics for all
counselors. Congratulations to those members who had a vital role at the NJCA
workshops: Roberto Schiraldi, Inspira Joyce Williams, Sudha Natarajan, Jacob
Griffin and Aisha Jabbar. Special thanks to Aida Hernandez, Natasha Brodzinski
and Kathryn Nyce for their attendance and support. A few of my former students
attended these workshops which I was thrilled about. In addition to all these
activities, I presented a workshop on Sunday morning on counselors' self-care.
To my surprise, NJCA president Randy Clark showed up to this event for the last
part of the session and offered his full support for our Fall 2016 conference.
Finally, one topic mentioned by Randy at the conference was the need for
counselors to engage in advocacy. I totally agree. Considering all my
responsibilities with NJAMC and my highly demanding full time job, I am looking
for some member(s) who would like to help with the NJAMC advocacy work for this
year. Your support and collaboration are absolutely necessary in advocating for
NJAMC. Third, If you hear of any member who indicates that she/he is not
getting meeting reminders, tell them that they need to sign up for the NJAMC
list serv. Nobody else can do this for them. The same applies for being
removed from the list serv. For sign up instructions, email Jennifer
(jchiaramonti@xxxxxxx). P.S. We need a person to take notes at the May 7th
meeting. Can I count on someone to support Jennifer Chiaramonti who can't
attend this meeting due to a work conflict? Your help is much appreciated.
Enjoy this incredible weather! Maria del Carmen Rodriguez
