         4. Process of group formation, including “interest profile”

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

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

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

         7. 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.
