PAST PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Brian Abrams, Ph.D., MT-BC, LPC, LCAT, FAMI
Greetings from North Jersey! I hope that you are all enjoying your summer. It is an ongoing honor to serve as a member of the MAR Executive Board, now in the role of Immediate Past-President.
As Past-President, I serve in an advisory capacity to the President, Debbie Benkovitz, with whom I have been in contact about various matters of the region over the past several months. The Past-President also serves as a liaison between the MAR Executive Board and the MAR Representatives to the AMTA National Standing Committees.
In addition, the Past-President helps identify members interested in serving on a regional level. In this lattermost capacity, I encourage you to give serious consideration to serving the region, to share your energy and voice, and contribute your unique abilities to the advancement of our profession within the region. You may indicate your interest in serving using the “MAR Needs You” form, available at http://www.mar-amta.org/opps/volunteer.html.
In order that the MAR Executive Board is able to serve you most effectively, please feel free to contact me, President Benkovitz, or any member of the Executive Board, should you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
