DOPL request for nominations to the CMHC and SUDC Boards. Due April, 3, 2023

The Utah Coalition of Mental Health Associations is moving forward and I should have bylaws ready for a vote before April's meeting. A tentative date for the 2024 conference has been set in April.

  1. The Office of Professional Licensure Review (OPLR) is a new office in the Department of Commerce, tasked with providing recommendations to the legislature on how to improve and update occupational regulation. This year they are reviewing a variety of behavioral health care professions’ licensing requirements. As part of this review, they are conducting focus groups with members of each of the relevant industry associations.
    
    The purpose of the focus groups is to help the OPLR research team learn more about the experiences of behavioral health care workers as they become licensed and practice in the state of Utah, in order to generate ideas for how to improve occupational regulation so that consumers have access to safe and competent care. If you participate, during the focus group you will be asked to share insights and ideas related to your own experience becoming licensed and working in the behavioral health care system in Utah. The focus groups are exploratory in nature, and will help the research team as they start to develop recommendations for the legislature. Participation is voluntary, and themes and comments from the focus groups will be anonymized.

New Projects
1. Working with Senator Kennedy, BHWW, and UAMFT on legislative changes
  1. From Anna's email on 12/27/2021
    1. On 12/7/21 I sent a request for an email board vote that UMHCA would not support a reduction in supervised practice hours. This is was overwhelming approved by the UMHCA board.
2. - · LPPC and Gray followed up on this and Gray met with Senator Kennedy on 12/17/21 and has been in communication with the BHWW. To discuss UMHCA’s concerns and clarify the reason for this change in law. Senator Kennedy is very concerned about the increase in mental health problems (esp. suicide) and current challenges to access to mental health professionals and the proposed legislation to decrease practice hours to 3000 for MHC’s is an attempt to increase access. Gray expressed UMHCA’s stance and explained how decreasing practice hours would not improve access or number of mental health counselors.
  - · A meeting was held with LPPC last week to brainstorm alternative legislation to the current one proposed.
  - · LPPC and I support an alternative legislative change to increase the timeframe to obtain full licensure following completion of the 4000 supervised practice hours. This will increase the mental health workforce by allowing more time for ACMHC licensure extensions due to problems with passing the NCMHCE and NCE. This is timely as I know the NBCC is currently working on revising all of their exams.
Christopher Austin has joined the LPPC and will be working on newsletters and attending DOPL meetings.
Legislative session begins January 19. BHWW will be compiling and distributing a list of mental health-related bills soon.

3 Education & Conference Committee (EACC)

New Projects:
We have secured Dr. Caprice Hollins to do a full day online live conference on April 30. Her fees are $7,500. We will offer a half day (4 Ethics CEs) or full day option (7 Ethics CEs). Three of us have attended her conferences and agree that she is the best presenter we've heard and that we learned more from her about anti-racism, cross-cultural communication, and social justice than anyone. See her link for her TedTAlk https://www.culturesconnecting.com/about-us .

We decided against an in-person conference because 1) Would we be able to profit enough given the high overhead (venue, catering) if in person attendance is low due to COVID? and 2) we don't have anyone with time to chair/organize such a conference.

4. Professional Partnership & Associate Partnership Committee (PPAC)

New Projects:
1. Business Partnership Agreement - great plan but needs refining. We have “discounted” and “reduced rates” as incentives but need to be specific. From the Conference committee: pricing of conferences -do we translate “discounted” and “reduced rates” to a specific percentage or do we give a number of free admissions? Marketing: banner advertising, logo recognition and link on website - is that possible on our end and what is that worth to a business? General: introductions at conferences, vendor tables, logo on specialty items at conferences, complimentary membership
Update of Progress: EC wants me to meet with HMHI but until the above levels out, I have nothing to present to them
Items for Vote:
Budget Changes:
Suggestions from Board: Do we roll out an online plan for this year and then change for in person next year?

New Projects. The EACC met on 11/11/20 to discuss the spring Annual Conference. We decided to offer an 8 hour online conference, due to COVID-19. We intend to invite presenters whose proposals were accepted for last year's cancelled conference. We are exploring online conference platforms such as HopIn, which allow for fluid networking and movement among "rooms". We hope to subsequently post conference recordings on our website for 'on demand' CE credits. To power that, we are exploring software/services that automate the administration of exam and CE certificates. We will purchase a DOPL email list in January to promote the event. We would like to pay the person/s who administer the conference (e.g. registration, certificates) and will build a budget for that by February.

3 Education & Conference Committee (EACC) Update of progress in board

New Projects
Update of Progress The Summer Series went well. We had 151 registrants and 122 attended one or all sessions for a total of 81% attendance. Engagement during sessions was good. There seems to be strong, continued interest in the online/on-demand sessions now available for CEs. UMHCA has earned $8,800 from the events, with ongoing earning expected to continue. Thanks to Jim and Carrie for hosting and managing the events. They worked hard and did a great job!

Feedback was favorable, noting that the content was relevant, presenters were effective, the low cost was compelling, and they liked the focus on ethics. Concerns to sort out for future online sessions:

emails with session links were sometimes "blocked" making it hard for some attendees to get access

tracking attendance is cumbersome given the platforms used

ideally there is a way we can show more faces (cameras on) during sessions, so presenters have a sense of their audience.

We now wonder about the possibility of doing quarterly sessions, live online (and subsequently available for on-demand viewing).

On a separate note, we have approved 14 CE seminar applications during 2020.

2. Legislative & Public Policy Committee (LPPC)

New Projects

DOPL update - DOPL met 7/8/2020 and discussed SB 68, SB 23, and Telehealth.

SB 68 - Clarified language: Vocational Rehabilitation is a "practice setting" not a license. The licenses are Rehabilitation Counseling and Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling. Both are able to seek licensure currently as a CMHC through SB 68, the board did not go into the exact differences between the two and noted CACREP notes few differences. DOPL will be collecting data and reporting on how many applicants apply through this bill, how many are approved, and recommended changes in the 2021 interim session.

SB 23 - Licensure Portability: Individuals from other states can obtain a CMHC license in Utah if they have had an equivalent license in another state for one year and are in good standing. The board is working on clarifying under what terms individuals from other states would be able to obtain CMHC licensure. Discussed supervision hours, testing, practice hours, and scope of practice in other states. No decisions were made and it will continue to be discussed.

Telehealth - Typically, upon a client moving to Utah, a clinician outside of the state has 10 days to notify DOPL that they are providing telehealth, and are able to provide telehealth for a 45 day period. Currently Utah is waiving requirements during the pandemic only while the 'state of emergency' is in effect, which means outside clinicians can do telehealth with people who have relocated to Utah until the state of emergency is over. Once it is over, they will either need to discontinue at that time or apply for licensure in Utah to continue telehealth.

Update of progress

LPPC webpage revised - mission statement adjusted; working on adding in current projects, operating procedures, meeting minutes, advocacy interest areas, DOPL updates, and easy to digest information on licensing and rules.

Jim will be sending out in an email blast - update from AMHCA - On June 30, the Health Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee held a legislative hearing that included H.R. 945, which provides Medicare reimbursement to mental health counselors. This historic hearing was the first time that counselor Medicare legislation was evaluated as a stand-alone measure. All previous congressional action included our legislation as a piece of a broader health care package. We urge you to contact your Representative this week and ask him/her to include H.R. 945 in the House Energy and Commerce markup of mental health legislation. AMHCA has a template email prepared to contact representatives available at https://umhca.org/LegislativeProjects/9088595

Anne is creating an email template to reach out to members of the Health and Human Services Committee in the House and the Senate. We will reach out to representatives on that committee that serve in Davis, Box Elder, Weber, and Salt Lake Counties. We will reach out to those we receive responses from and request their presence at a committee meeting, as well as build the relationship through exploring their interests in this area, providing resources, and determining where we can mutually benefit.

3. Education & Conference Committee (EACC) Update of progress

New Projects

Update of progress

The Education and Conference Committee will offer a Summer Series of five weekly sessions, during the month of August (Mondays, noon-2:00 PM). Each session will be initially delivered "live" online, with an online audience, via GotoPresentations In addition, we will record each session to post online for "on demand" viewing. We will have 3 sessions on Ethics (each 2 hours) and 1 session on suicide intervention (2 hours). Also, we will offer 1 free session on The Essentials of Clinical Mental Health Counseling to anyone who registers for a session in the Summer Series (2 hours) . Attendees who successfully complete an online survey for a session will receive a CE certificate via email.

Presentations: Janine Wanlass, Ph.D. on Ethics and Telehealth; Robin Tracey, CMHC on LGBTQIA+ and Ethics; Ken Roach, Ph.D. on The new 2020 AMHCA Ethics Code; Talysha Tingey, CMHC and Amber Willis, Ph.D. on Suicide and Teenagers; Gray Ottis, Ph.D. on The Essentials of Clinical Mental Health Counseling

There are minimal costs associated with the Summer Series. We will purchase GotoPresentations for 2 months, which costs $118. We will market using the DOPL mail lists that we purchased for the March conference (DOPL has OKed that). And, we can store the sessions free online. Many thanks to Jim for researching and setting up the technology for this!

Fees: $120 Non-Member Series, $90 Member Series, $50 Student Series, $25 Non-Member Session, $20 Member Session, $10 Student Session.

Given that license renewal is in September, we anticipate that these topics will be in demand, especially if we advertise soon. If we have the "ok" to proceed, I will confirm the presenters and we will begin marketing ASAP.

3 Education & Conference Committee (EACC) Update of progress

New Projects None

Update of progress
The March 27 Annual Conference was cancelled, due to COVID-19. We will refund all registration fees and vendor table fees and reschedule the Annual Conference to August 2020. In the intervening months the committee will offer up to 4 hours of live streamed CEs (2 hour ethics, 2 hours suicide).

As background:

- The $890 spent on conference mailings will be the only expenses that we will not recoup.

- We considered cancelling the in person conference and instead recording and posting sessions online. However, I contacted DOPL to ask if they would consider recorded online sessions as "in person" CEs and they said no.

-We hope that live streamed webinars (1-2 hours each) will enable us to recoup our financial loss and will enable registrants to obtain their essential credits well in advance of license renewal in September.

-The rescheduled Annual conference will also occur before license renewal, so that participants can still earn all credits in time. We will announce a rescheduled date ASAP so that registrants know they can still obtain credits in time.

We discussed the idea of live-streaming the conference on March 27, but agreed that we aren't equipped to live stream 4 concurrent sessions and would need to hire that out, which is likely quite expensive and not feasible at this late date.

Items for vote - None

Budget Changes - None

Rule 26 - Julie

Julie, Jordan, and Scott meeting with Eric (Attorney)

DOPL Intention to change ethical affiliation to ACA

Background: Some years ago DOPL approved the adoption of the AMHCA Code of Ethics as the state approved ethics standard for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors (LCMHCs). This was done because the AMHCA Code of Ethics is written specifically for Clinical Mental Health Counselors. By contrast, the American Counseling Association’s (ACA) Code of Ethics covers all types of counseling to include vocational counseling, school counseling, guidance counseling, etc.

Important Considerations:

AMHCA has finalized a revision of the Code of Ethics that will be published in December 2019. This revision is in keeping with the highest standards of ethical practice that has been in effect since AMHCA published its first code of ethics in 1978.

This updated code reflects the values and standards of the “AMHCA Clinical Mental Health Counselors Declaration, a Hippocratic Oath.” This is the only known public statement of ethics by any mental health association.

The AMHCA Code of Ethics also synchronizes with “AMHCA Standards of Practice.” The Standards of Practice illustrate practical guidelines for the conduct of practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to provide services, offer supervision, and meet requirements for research. The Standards of Practice was used as the prime document for the Congressional Institute of Medicine to substantiate federal legislation for LCMHCs to be hired by the VA, DOD, and to be reimbursed for Tricare.

These three supporting documents – the AMHCA Code of Ethics, the Clinical Mental Health Counselors Declaration, and the AMHCA Standards of Practice – form the foundational basis of the Clinical Mental Health Counseling profession.

In addition, AMHCA will publish in January 2020, “Essentials of the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Profession.” This text will include all of the documents listed above and provide a comprehensive review of the profession’s identity and distinctive attributes, career guidance, and other information that will illustrate the past, present, and future of the profession. This single resource will bring together all of the elements of what it means to be an LCMHC.

All of these factors are important for the development of the profession into an integrated approach that supports individual LCMHCs and that provides comprehensive practice guidance. As a profession, we need to have our own code of ethics that reinforces our standards of ethical excellence.

Therefore, the Utah Mental Health Counselors Association strongly recommends that DOPL retain the Code of Ethics of the American Mental Health Counselors Associations in keeping with the public’s right to protection through profession’s specific ethical standards.

The Conference registration is now posted on the website. Thank you Jim!

The Call for Proposals is almost ready to go live. We are making final edits to it now. We will begin inviting speakers and will review all proposals on a rolling basis.

Last month, we estimated the venue and catering would total $7060. We now have official pricing and the price will be higher: $9460 (assuming 175 people). The higher cost came from the venue, given some required (but previously unknown) add-ons. Still, this venues pricing is as affordable as we can find.

$5098 for venue (AV, linens, microphones, podiums, set-up, tear down etc. ) after the 20% non-profit discount
$4362 catering (snack, lunch, snack)

Total expenses: $310 for Dopl Lists and approx.. $500 for food/drinks.

Annual Conference
Friday in March (8:30-5:30, with 8 CEs) Plan one day conference because attendance was low on Saturdays. Reduces CEs by 2. Proposed prices adjusted accordingly.

Committee recommends changing to a conference venue, given prior issues with parking, registration space, technology. After researching 6 venues, we recommend the following because of the cost and quality:

Recommended Venue:

UTAH CULTURAL CELEBRATION CENTER

1355 West 3100 South (Prices based on 175 attendees)

Large Hall for 250 & 4 break out rooms, free parking, wifi = $1560 with 20% nonprofit discount. AV and linens = $1000 estimated. Estimated total: $2560

(Note: Other venues ranged from $3,300-6,200)

Catering = $4500 estimated. Provided by JK Indulgence (a preferred caterer at the Utah CCC and lowest cost) $19.00-22.00 pp lunch, full service; snacks/drinks approx $5.00 pp

Expenses:

Venue + catering: $7060 (20% deposit, due when reserving= $1312)

DOPL Email lists $350 (Committee recommends purchasing DOPL lists for LCSWs, CMHCs, LMFTs.)

Total Estimated Expenses: $7410

Proposed Conference Fees:

$160 for Members ($20 per CE hour)

$200 for non-members ($20 per CE hour + price of membership)

$75 for Students ($20 less than last year, when adjusted for lower CEs)

Estimated Registration Revenue: $32,000 (10 students, 87 members, 87 non-members)

(Note: If registration is as low as 100 registration revenue is $18,000)

Projected Net: $24,590 (Adjusted based on vendor and sponsor revenue, below)

Vendors/exhibitors:

New initiative

Charge $250-300 per table?

Perhaps that would generate $3000

Sponsor funded items:

Coloring Pencils $200

Programs $200

Other (e.g., badges) $200

Lunch and/or snacks: ?

3. Items for vote

Executive Committee

New Projects or Concerns

Behavioral Healthcare Workforce Work Group (BHWW): October 4, 2019- The Social Work Summit. This is a new major initiative funded by U of U Dean of Social Work advocating for funding for social work students, programs, and loan forgiveness. UMHCA must be engaged in this process to ensure these same provisions for CMHCs, MFTs and other mental health professions in order to meet the needs of Utah public.

2. Conversion therapy ban action: WATCH: After the legislature failed to prohibit conversion therapy for minors, the governor has asked the Psychological Association to develop rules for professional associations regarding conversion therapy-- that it is "not helpful, can be harmful, and should be prohibited."

3. Internet Services, Email provider: Xmission needs a letter requesting continuation of donated services, screen shot of recognition, example of newsletter recognition HOLD

4. Internet marketing/Business sponsorships/partnerships (discussion) What more can UMHCA do to make members aware of partnerships with CPH & Associates insurance for liability?

5. AMHCA Membership: Should UMHCA take a lead role on the national front to promote a "top down- no choice" approach to national membership?

Update on Current Projects

Open board positions/nominees

President-elect position - Dennis Tucker has accepted nomination; Anna Lieber is considering nomination; Ellen Behrens declined nomination - HOLD

UMHCA will have no oversight responsibility. For example: "Students participating the UMHCA Peer Consultation Group are solely responsible for notifying their clinical supervisor."

Ethics and professionalism of participants: A statement will be added to the Indemnification agreement that states (for example): "Clinicians will personally ensure ethical content and professional expression and safeguard the professional decorum of the peer process with self-restraint and mutual accountability."

Additional statement to be added to indemnification: "The views expressed by individual participants in the Peer Consultation Group are not representative the views of Utah Mental Health Counselors Association."

New Projects or Concerns

Update on Current Projects

Office Space (Update): Dennis reported that UMHCA has leased an office space for the cost of $343 per month and has paid the first year in advance. Attendees toured the space.

Space was over budget by $43/month.

Best option for Internet not determined.

Bryce will present best options for using the space and furnishings which will be reviewed at July board meeting.

July board meeting will be held in the Conference Room at the location of the UMHCA office.

August meeting will likely be held in the UMHCA space.

Ten chairs and a TV will be purchased in advance of the July board meeting to accommodate overflow.

Attorney subscription (Update) - HOLD

Attorney to "sue for parity" (Update) - HOLD

Dual-chair

Dual-chair structure will be available to any committee that would benefit from having two chairs. Rationale for having two chairs is based on the volume of work/responsibility the committee manages, and distinct areas of separation of duties.

Diagram 1: Shows dual-chair structure

Diagram 2: Shows the parameters of a quorom.

The top portion shows the seven committees; the bottom portion shows the five officers (president, pres-elect or immediate past-president, secretary, treasurer, presidential adviser).

We have a representative quorum at a board meeting when: At least four of seven committees are present AND at least three of five members of the EXEC (officers) are present. **Individuals may hold two (or more) roles and exercise those votes.

Items for Vote

I motion for the board to approve an expenditure of up to $_____ to purchase ten chairs, and a television as noted in item 2.1.3.

I motion for the board to adopt a "dual-chair" be available to any committee that would benefit from having two chairs. Rationale for having two chairs is based on the volume of work/responsibility the committee manages, and distinct areas of separation of duties.

Budget Changes

I motion for an amendment to the budget in the amount of $_____ to purchase ten chairs, and a television as noted in item 2.1.3.

Ethical Decision-making Models (Discussion)

Model for Ethical Decision Making, Jeri Stevens

Just tell me if this is (Un)Ethical, Jason King

The Practitioner's Guide to Ethical Decision Making
1. Identify the problem.

2. Apply the ACA Code of Ethics. (change to AMHCA Code of Ethics)

3. Determine the nature and dimensions of the dilemma.

4. Generate potential courses of action.

5. Consider the potential consequences of all options and determine a course of action.

6. Evaluate the selected course of action.

7. Implement the course of action.

8. Document that the consultation has occurrence

Items for vote.

It is proposed that we adopt the Practitioner's Guide Ethical Decision Making as the official peer consultation group ethical decision making model, provided that we adopt the AMHCA code of ethics over the ACA, and provided that the 8th step of documentation is also included.

New Projects

Update of progress: Meeting of 6-7-19.

Paul is stepping down as the chair of the Graduate Student Committee. It has been an honor to be in this position.

Paul is nominating Anna Lieber to be the chair of the Graduate Student Committee. She has expressed willingness to serve in this position.

The Graduate Student Committee continues to prepare to visit CMHC programs this fall to let students know about UMHCA.

The committee is also preparing to contact online CMHC schools who may have students from Utah.

The committee is considering offering a scholarship for CMHC graduate students. The executive committee recently gave us feedback that we need to demonstrate that a scholarship is appropriate for a 501(c)6 organization. We will work on this and bring it back to the UMHCA board.

The GSC is working on adding "emerging professionals" to the proposed bylaw changes for the proposed Graduate Student and Emerging Professionals Committee" and will bring this back to the UMHCA board.

Motion for policy & procedure for managing the inurement to reimburse UMHCA board members who renew their annual membership dues through AMHCA Unified Dues: I motion for the board to implement a reimbursement policy and procedure for UMHCA board members who renew their annual membership through AMHCA Unified dues.

Executive Committee

  2. Attorney subscription: (Discussion) The Executive Committee is working on a new benefit for UMHCA members to partner with a law firm. We are looking at a no liability partnership that will provide subscribed members with defined legal services.
  3. Legislative and Public Policy Committee (LPPC): (Recommendation) The Executive Committee, has determined that the LPPC, which is at the forefront of UMHCA's advocacy efforts needs an expanded structure to meet the demands of this committee's scope of work. The recommendation is to establish a dual-chair structure with one chair overseeing legislative /lobbying/legal concerns and the other overseeing DOPL matters such as licensing and supervision. In addition to the dual-chair structure, the EXEC proposes a student be appointed as co-chair in keeping with other UMHCA committees. Once approved, these recommendations, and related division of responsibilities will be written into the ByLaws.
  4. Stipends for attendees to AMHCA Annual Conference: (Recommendation) Per request of the presidential adviser, the EXEC recommends that UMHCA award a $300 stipend to Gary Otis and Sandi Williams for representing UMHCA at the annual AMHCA conference.

Online forums for CEUs to be announced.

Update of progress

Proposed Peer Consultation Guidelines:

Starting: 8 max., originally chosen by GBAB based on submitted ‘interest profiles’ to start the group(s). Thereafter, subsequent membership by group selection. Must be members of UMHCA. Based on interest profiles sent to UMHCA.

Originally facilitated by UMHCA Board member, thereafter by monthly appointment from the peer consultation group. Default facilitator is the UMHCA board member. Facilitator is to see the voted on agenda is followed.

Time Frame: 90 minutes, monthly basis

Process of group formation, including “interest profile”

Name, copy of license, therapist specialties, short bio. What are you looking for? Days available for monthly peer consultation.

Attendance policy to eliminate confusion. Something like: two unannounced successive absences and you're out

When members leave, new members are to be selected from the group based on UMHCA submitted interest profiles

Peer Consultation Format: 1) review of meeting’s agenda, such as cases desired to be staffed, information desired to be shared, articles to be discussed, new members to be added, facilitator of the next peer consultation group etc. 2) vote on the priorities for that session, 3) set the agenda, 4) enact the agenda in a timely and orderly manner.

Interest profile could be a part of the UMHCA conference.

There will need to be an open box as all are not tech savvy.

Items for vote.

Vote to approve peer consultation format as presented, with liberty for minor changes to be made without future vote and significant changes to be made with vote

2. Update of progress.
  1. Discussed Conference Facilities
    1. 4 rooms (capacity 93,93,40,40) plus auditorium (capacity 175).
    2. Fees $750 plus auditorium tbd. Includes AV
    3. Cap attedance at 175 for now
    4. Approved Jim's map of facilities for inclusion in program and slides
    5. Rooms have VGA and HDMI connections. Presenters will need to use those to connect their laptops to projectors. We will have 4 available, one for each room, but its best that presenters bring their own to ensure "connections". Ellen will do that
  2. Approved Jim”s video/slide to show during conference
    1. We will project it in a loop, in the auditorium during breaks, lunch, and open times.
  3. Approved Conference Program:
    1. Viewed Program and approved it
    2. Westminster agreed to sponsor the conference programs ($200 donation)
    3. Agreed to recommend that we purchase colored pencils to accompany the programs ($200).
      1. Ellen and Paul will invite university sponsors to pay for pencils.
  4. Tentative Schedule
    1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CE3C-m2jDj5c_VtCR2lkt8JGryeLpwyXSwt-YvEl7Bg/edit?usp=sharing
  5. Presenters:
    1. 22 -25 needed
3. 11 confirmed presenters; 6 pending invitations
  
  Board members are asked to present twice: Opening Session on March 15 at 9- 9:30 ( introductions and welcome) and Closing Session on Saturday March 16 at 11:00-11:50 (highlight your committees goals and projects).
  
  Committee members agreed to invite 1-2 presenters in the next week. We want to secure invited presentations by end of January. At that point, we will begin a social media blast announcing our presenters and conference. A sample email invitation was provided. And an online doc to log presentations was shared.
  
  Ellen will email all presenters in Feb to notify them of their time slot, remind them to submit their slides by March 5 as well as to bring a laptop with connectors (or advise us if they will need a VGA or HDMI connector).
  
  Jim will email all participants their certificate of CEs after the conference.
  
  6. Snacks/ drinks:
  
  Jordan volunteered to purchase and manage drinks and snacks for the conference. We will ask Julie for some volunteers to help with snacks.
  
  7. Approve Friday lunch:
  
  Terri has confirmed Apple Spice Junction will deliver. Lunch = $8.99. Options: Turkey, Chicken Salad, Veggie. Badges will have a code on them noting the selection made via registration form.
  
  8. Discussed use of code words for conference attendance verification.
  
  We noted that the beta test of the code word system was problematic at the Fall mini-conference. Some participants became quite irritated with the process, due to operator errors, confusion over code words, variability in devices, internet connection problems. Jim needed to manage some of those issues via individual emails and manually keying hours. Presenters or Hosts would likely have a hard time remembering and managing codes. Our concern is that these issues will increase 20 fold, given that we will not only have 2 sessions, but at least 22 sessions. We recognize the need to keep attendance though. We therefore proposed and agreed that instead, we want to have "Hosts" in each session who will ensure all attendees sign in to the session. During the session the Host will log onto a SurveyMonkey account to type in the attendees. The Host will also help should issues arise with AV or the room.
  
  9. We scheduled a pre-conference GotoMeeting, for all committee members, Julie, and the PRMM on Wednesday, March 13 at 8:30 PM. At that time we will review the procedures, roles, and schedule.
4. Items for vote.
  1. Do we need to vote on the attendance policy? If so it is this: We propose to have "Hosts" in each conference session who will ensure all attendees sign in to the session. During the session the Host will log onto a SurveyMonkey account to type in the attendees' names. Doing so will verify attendance and enable IT (aka Jim) to easily tabulate hours for the certificates.

1. Education, Conference, & Graduate Student Committee (ECGS)

Items for vote.ECGS Proposal #1 for Board Vote

Seeking authorization for up to $600 to do 2 separate mailings: 1 mailing in November for Call for Papers/Save the Date and 1 mailing in January for Conference Registration. We plan to do mailings to CMHCs first. If responses are low on either CMHC mailing, we would send to LCSWs

Conference fees (Friday lunch included)

$170 Member (Full Conference)

$115 Member (Half Conference)

$205 Non-Member (Full Conference)

$150 Non-Member (Half Conference)

$95 students

Presenters Free

Early Bird will be $30 less than each above noted fee and will expire 45 days prior to conference.

ECGS Proposal #2 for Board Vote

ECGS proposes that that the ECGS be reconfigured into 2 distinct committees:

a Graduate Student Committee, with the mission of providing outreach, support, professional networking, and education for graduate counseling students,

an Education and Conference Committee, with the mission of coordinating the Annual Conference and Fall Mini-Conference as well as any additional educational projects.

Rationale: The ECGS has too large a mission, with too many competing projects to manage. By creating 2 distinct committees, the work load becomes more manageable and targeted for each committee.

Ellen Behrens nominates Paul Callister to chair the Graduate Student Committee. Ellen Behrens would like to continue as the chair of the Education and Conference Committee.

There are sufficient graduate student members to populate the new Graduate Student committee as well as sufficient members to populate an Education and Conference Committee.

Updates about the Annual Conference

Date:  March 15-16

Location:  University of Utah (specific location TBD; Dr. Dorn is helping with arrangements)

Lunch included in fee and provided on site

150 attendees anticipated

A newly revised Call for Proposals is posted on the website.

Proposals will be due by 1/15/2019

Plan for at least 4 sessions per time slot.

Gray Otis will be our keynote speaker.

In addition to the proposals submitted online, the committee will invite experts to present on salient counseling topics such as professional counseling identity; counseling ethics; suicide training; clinical training sessions (e.g., EFT).

For each session, there will be at least 1 licensed mental health therapist presenter.

We plan to email a Call for Proposals/Save the Date announcement to the dopl list ASAP

We plan to email a registration announcement in January to the dopl list
