Contemporary Sexuality - November 2008 - (Page 2) From the Executive Director hanks to all our members who have already elected to GO GREEN. As of Oct. 7, we have been pleased to see 390 members go completely green by accepting Contemporary Sexuality and all AASECT correspondence via electronic means. In addition, 515 members have agreed to take dues and certification notices via email to help us reduce costs associated with paper, envelopes and mailing. If you have not yet elected to GO GREEN, visit our Members Only section of the website. If you have not seen the impressive new digital version of Contemporary Sexuality, treat yourself by reviewing this issue at www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/aasect/cs_200811/. Take the five minutes it takes to review the tutorial and you will be able to jump around and use the fancy features available in this new medium. You can see last month’s issue at www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/aasect/cs_200810/. • This is the season we begin shipping Membership Dues invoices to many members. Please help AASECT by paying your dues as soon as you receive the invoice. Paying in a timely fashion really helps your association. It makes the work of our small staff easier and more cost efficient when we don’t have to send repeated invoices to our members. • Clinical insert articles needed: You may have noticed the absence of clinical CE articles in Contemporary Sexuality recently. We need contributions from our members to fill this void. Many members take advantage of this unique method of continuing education and professional growth. If you have a topic of interest, please contact Editorin-Chief Annette Owens at info@cvillewellness.com. • Winter Institute: Sallie Foley and Barry McCarthy have designed a remarkable training opportunity in sunny Deerfield Beach, Florida for January 9-11. This weekend is open to a range of clinicians both in experience and clinical orientation. A sampling of the topic areas includes: sex therapy failures, secret sexual lives, balancing couples’ sexual styles, non-traditional relationships, sex after affairs, sex over the lifespan, and the role of personal and professional values in sex therapy. To register, go to www.aasect.org/ PDFs/Winter_Institute_2009_Registration_Form.pdf and fax the form to us at (804) 752-0056. The deadline for registering is Dec. 1. • Awards Nominations. We were pleased to learn this month that the incomparable Joan Sughrue has agreed to chair this year’s awards committee. The 2009 nominations form can be found through a link once you log into the Members Only area of the AASECT website. Or you can contact the national office at aasect@aasect.org to receive the PDF file. • Diplomate Applications: Our Diplomate Certification Committee has now developed the application process for those certified sex therapists who were certified after 2002, and who wish to attain the designation of Diplomate in Sex Therapy. Contact us for information about the process. 2 Contemporary Sexuality T sexuality AASECT Executive Director Founder AASECT Board of Directors President President Elect Secretary Treasurer Membership Steering Chair Certification Steering Chair Outreach Steering Chair Professional Education Steering Committee Chair Public Relations, Media & Advocacy Steering Committee Communications Steering Chair Stephen Conley, PhD Patricia Schiller, MA, JD Helen “Ginger” Bush, MSW William W.
