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
