[humanser] Greetings

[Cari Ford]

Hi Mary and the list,
I know this message that I am responding to is almost a month old but I wanted to add my voice because I feel strongly about my opinion.
I feel that we should not change our name from the human services division. I think if we add too many names and or include too many professions i.e. the physical health profession our goals and purpose will be garbled.I agree that there is some overlap and I would not turn away anyone in a health field division not under the human services umbrella.I just think that if we add more and more professions thatit will be much harder to create meaningful goals and achieve those goals.
I strongly believe that our name should remain the same the human services division. That I believe is who we are as a group.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas or happy holidays, whatever it is you wish to celebrate this time of year. Take care.

Peace, 
Cari

Greetings to All Listserv Members,



Not sure if you notice a pattern, but the majority of messages from me are
sent out on Sunday mornings as this is my most peaceful time of the week.
My thoughts swirl around the Human Services Division and the tasks to do.
Admittedly, there are many times I feel more than overwhelmed and wonder if
our goals are obtainable.  Then the essence of who I am speaks loudly and
reminds me this type of thinking will accomplish nothing.  



The Board of the Division will meet privately during the month of December.
Unlike most meetings this will not be open for membership involvement, but I
will present to our members and listserv the plans so you are informed.
One of the topics at our meeting is a name change for the division.



I would like to get immediate feedback from this list an our members
regarding a name change for the division.  While I attended  the "Leaders
and Ledgers" seminar at the Jernigan Institute, someone repeatedly referred
to the division as the "Health and Human Services Division".  Since I have
received quite a few inquiries from individuals who are seeking to go into
the medical field and there is currently no division for medical
professionals, I thought I would put the idea out to you all.  It brings
more diversity to our division which we have a great deal of now; however,
physical and mental health (in my opinion) are interconnected on many
levels.



Please respond to your thoughts on the name change.  It will mean a
Constitutional  change and I am seeking input before we go further with the
idea.



Thanks,

Merry C. Schoch
