New Year, New Growth

A new year will soon be upon us and what a great year it will be for our Collaborative Community. The IACP Board of Directors is committed to growing membership tremendously during 2023. More members means more opportunities for you to open collaborative cases and bring peace into the world.

We are also committed to hosting another fantastic Forum. This October we will be in Toronto! We are already planning the Forum schedule and events. Save the dates now so that you don’t miss out: October 19 – 22 at the Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

We are more than just the Forum. We will continue to offer amazing webinars and gatherings on Zoom every month through 2023 and resources for our members so you can continue to improve your practices.

The IACP Board of Directors and staff are completely committed to making 2023 a great year for you, our IACP members, and we have something to ask of you. We need your support in our drive to grow our membership. Please encourage your colleagues to join IACP. Our committee members and Board members will be reaching out to you for your help to increase our membership. When our membership grows, we can afford even better programing for everyone. We all win when our membership numbers grow. Equally important, the world wins with better educated professionals working together globally to bring peace to families everywhere.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff at IACP, best wishes for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday season and a spectacular 2023.

In Community,

Brian Galbraith

IACP Board President
