The LA-CAMFT Membership Committee is a village that helps build the LA-CAMFT Village.

Membership is about involvement and commitment. The Membership Committee helps individuals understand the benefits resulting from making a commitment to being involved in LA-CAMFT. The Membership Committee informs others about the great opportunity to be part of a growing vibrant community of mental health professional that joining LA-CAMFT provides.

Everyone who is a member of LA-CAMFT is already a member of the Membership Committee, and in no small way. When a member shares with colleagues and friends their experiences at LA-CAMFT, it is an invitation for them to participate as well.

Specifically, the Membership Committee is responsible for bringing in new members and supporting the commitment of our existing members. The Membership Committee welcomes new members and helps them participate in the special interest groups and standing committees. We are also involved in outreach to the mental health community and inform psychotherapists about the benefits LA-CAMFT has to offer.

On a personal level, the Membership Committee has been a way for me to share with others that joining, being involved with, and contributing to the LA-CAMFT Village is a win-win experience. I feel enormous gratification in being a part of a caring, compassionate community- and it feels wonderful to be making a difference by helping the organization. I have met so many terrific people through the Membership Committee and I encourage anyone who is interested to call (310-479-7266) or email me at sietze@sietzevanderheide.com to learn about how you can participate.

As the newsletter’s editor, I welcome article submissions on various subjects pertaining to the field of mental health and healing arts. We are part of an ever-changing profession that requires us to stay informed and educated about new advances and discoveries in the field. We are also a community that brings together experienced and knowledgeable professionals and newcomers who have much to offer concerning mental health, psychotherapy, expressive arts, law and ethics, and much more. Therefore, I encourage you to share this knowledge by writing for the newsletter. You are invited to submit articles, 400 words in length, to sealoverv@aol.com. (Please attach your work as a Word document.) I welcome first person pieces as well as research findings, and topics of interest to our field.

If you would like to be on the newsletter committee as a writer, proofreader, or otherwise, I could use the help! Please contact me at the email address above. We can also use writers to cover our various events. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
