Greetings from your President. Your Board of Directors continues to address various responsibilities with a joyful and cooperative spirit. (Members are encouraged to attend any Board of Directors meeting as an observer/participant). Ongoing concern about psychologists’ involvement in torture while in government service continues to be addressed. Opportunities for continuing education have been created with Drs. Tom Butz and Jon Girvetz having given very successful workshops this year. Many other contributions have been made to the welfare of the greater Santa Cruz community. Also we have completed the 2009 membership campaign very successfully, albeit many members were very slow to renew their memberships.

Meanwhile, we’ve had a very pleasant and active year socially, with a summer party, two book club meetings, a wine tasting party, and an upcoming winter holiday party on December 5.

Best wishes to all members and wishing you an active and meaningful practice of our profession.

Jim Beckett, Ph.D.
