Kudos to Susan! 

You are a constant presence on the board, and I'd like to publicly appreciate you for that. In addition to this public "holding environment", Susan helped me edit a piece of writing for the conference proceeding a couple of years ago in response to a listserve question.

You are, as Christina said, "our amazing listserve respondent".

Thanks,
Donna

  Subject: RE: [Adta] Who helps with inquiries?

  Dear Lora & All,

  That is an excellent question...  Of course,  It is preferential that all inquiries and discussion points offered to the Listserv receive at least one response online.  As a member of the Public Relations Committee, an appointed position, The ADTA Listserve Respondent is an appointed to monitor and ensure that Listserv inquiries and discussion points are addressed.  The Listserv Respondent is a member of the ADTA who reports to the Public Relations Chairperson.  The Listserv Respondent's functions are to stimulate communication, to be responsive, to correct myths by presenting reality based facts and resources, to foster interaction, and to make the Listserv 'participant friendly'. 

  Our amazing Listserve Respondent is Susan Kleinman.  She keeps our discussions generated, answers inquires, however, as you know, she can't possibly do it all and we are always looking for persons interested in serving to assist in this capacity and serve as alternate in case our respondent is unable to respond to such inquiries. This is why we do hope that all of you too chime in and respond when an interesting topic comes across.

  It is part of our Vision implemented by the Board to have 

  Dynamic, Responsive, Effective Infrastructure Advancing DMT Scholarship and Practice in the Best Interests of Our Constituents

  A Strong Public Image

  And Expanding Membership that is Vibrant, Diverse, and Actively Involved

  Our listserve serves many functions in our community and in the public.  I'm glad to know that you are concerned that inquires are getting responded to... and certainly it is our desire as well.

  Our Susan Kleinman, our listserve Respondent does an amazing job in this area. I know all of you know her name, and email "skdmt2"  I do want to take this opportunity, since Lora brought this up, to publicly thank Susan for her consistent "holding environment" that she provides for us in our cyberspace community!!   A million "thanks" to Susan!! Certainly, however, each of you serve to work towards these visions as well!!

  Warmly,

  Christina Devereaux, MA, LCAT, LMHC, ADTR, NCC
