Aloha Everyone:
As we approach the end of 2009 many of us reflect on all the things we can be grateful for that occured over the past year. CSJ can be grateful for many people and projects that have been undertaken during 2009. One of the major events I want to draw your attention to regarding our collective sense of thankfulness and appreciation relates to the work that the Texas Counselors for Socia Justice has undertaken over the past end. The efforts of many allies in our Texas association culminated in the organizing of a state-wide conference that coincided with the Texas Counseling Association meeting in November.
This was a tremendous event with over 2,000 persons attending the Texas Counseling Association's state conference and many allies participating in workshops that focused on social justice counseling and advocacy issues.
Please joing me in applauding the work of our colleagues in Texas to promote the multicultural-social justice paradigm in that state and particularly the work of the following persons in organizing the meetings of the Texas Counselors for Social Justice association.
A special thank also goes out to Selma D. Yznaga <Selma....@utb.edu> one of the founders of the TCSJ association and continuing supporter of the work this professional group is doing in Texas.
The pictures attached to this email come from the November conference and include many of the organizer, Dr. Judy Daniels (the CSJ President-elect) an Mahealani Daniels, one of our youngest supporters.
In peace and with appreciation,
Michael D'Andrea
2009-2010 CSJ President
