I can see where Carrie is saying. We want to be inclusive and not specific because there are so many professions that are helping others. Since that is our purpose, I think human services shouldbe capped as it is. Perhaps the website needs to express this. I haven't looked at it so I can't comment further.

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and all their holidays to everyone!

> 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.
