Annual Leadership Retreat
Sunday, June 28, 2026
12:00pm-4:00pm
Private Home in Valley Glen
By Invite Only
Hello!
Youβve likely felt it when you connected with someone at a special event, felt seen by a colleague at a CE or networking event, found a mentor, or discovered a new opportunity through an LA-CAMFT connection. Itβs that LA-CAMFT magic that keeps us coming to events and staying connected, even when we may have other therapist communities closer to home. In my case, LA-CAMFT just feels like home.
That magic doesnβt happen by chance. It is lovingly and intentionally created by our members, volunteer leaders, past leaders, state leadership, and others who continue to support us. LA-CAMFT leadership is a collaboration of dedicated volunteers who contribute their time, talents, and ideas in ways that help us build community, utilize our strengths, and grow together.
While not everyone feels called to leadership, being an LA-CAMFT leader is truly a privilege. It is an honor to give back to our local therapist community, leave your mark on the LA-CAMFT legacy, and make lasting memories and friendships along the way.
On behalf of the LA-CAMFT Board of Directors, Jenni J.V. Wilson and I would like to officially invite you to the upcoming annual LA-CAMFT Leadership Retreat.
This yearβs retreat will provide an opportunity to reflect on where LA-CAMFT is today while helping shape where we want to be five years from now. Together, we will explore future priorities, identify opportunities for growth, and chart a course for the next chapter of our organization. Just as important, the retreat will give current and prospective leaders a chance to connect, build community, and have fun over games, food, and prizes.
It was at last yearβs Leadership Retreat that I made many of my first genuine connections with fellow board members. It is also where I felt truly welcomed and empowered to become more involved in LA-CAMFT leadership.
This year feels especially meaningful because of where LA-CAMFT finds itself today. Over the past year, we have seen renewed leadership involvement, member engagement, and community connection. New volunteers have stepped forward, committees have grown, and members have continued to show up for one another in ways that remind us why professional community matters.
What makes this growth particularly meaningful to me is that it was not guaranteed. During a period of unexpected transition, dedicated leaders stepped forward when the chapter needed them most, helping provide the stability and support that made this momentum and renewed sense of community possible.
As we look ahead, we have an opportunity to build on this momentum and intentionally shape the next chapter of LA-CAMFT together.
We value you and your perspective, and we hope you will join us as we reflect, connect, and co-create the future of LA-CAMFT.
Worried that youβre unsure about leadership or wonβt have much to contribute? I encourage you to take a chance and see what LA-CAMFT leadership is all about. Your voice matters. After all, LA-CAMFT isnβt just an organization. Itβs all of us.
Please join us in creating memories and forging our incredible future together!

Looking forward to building community with you all!
Warmly,
