Recommendations:
- Assign reports per board position, so that the President is not responsible for all the reports
- Work on the reports this year, while the information is fresh and access is easily available, rather than waiting until next year when board members have termed out, or the information is no longer easily accessible
- Reports needed are: General, Membership, Financial, Events, DEIA+, and Pre-Licensed
- To save you time drafting lengthy reports, links to a form with a few questions are provided
- Some database reports are needed (member roster, financial reports, and list of events)
The reports may be emailed all together OR separately to mchampion@camft.org

Chapter Hosts: East Bay, Marin County, and Santa Clara at the Fall Symposium

Board members and volunteers from the East Bay, Marine County, and Santa Clara Valley Chapters were hosts at the CAMFT Fall Symposium in San Jose on Friday, November 1. They greeted symp-osium attendees and shared pertinent local information about their Chapters, the community, and local restaurants and entertainment. Throughout the day, they also engaged symposium attendees in conversation and activities, while offering treats and giveaways.

The Chapter hosts shared that this was a wonderful opportunity to introduce their chapters, its programs, and member benefits to the attendees.

A huge thank you to hosts Khea Gumbs and Tanya Jacobs (East Bah Chapter), Elizabeth Clark (Marin County Chapter), and Liliana Ramos, Marte' Matthews, Erin Rosenblum, Kusum Punjabi, Ursula Jorgensen, Rachel Costella, and Kassie Butterworth (Santa Clara Valley Chapter) for their time.
