Contemporary Sexuality - December 2008 - (Page 2)

From the Executive Director Sol Gordon, our dear mentor and friend, needs to hear from you. Anyone who has sat in one of his classes in Syracuse or Yeshiva Universities or attended a workshop at an AASECT conference or a lecture he’s given at any sex education event knows how sociable Sol is. We recently learned that Sol’s body has betrayed him and he has moved into an assisted living facility. Marlene, his wife, tells us he loves to receive calls from friends at (919) 602-6266. Take a few minutes and express the Spirit of AASECT to give back to one of our true leaders. Sol would love to hear from you with a letter or card, too, to 9 Charrington Place, Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514. Marlene is printing any emails he receives at solgordon@nc.rr.com. • Thanks to all who have submitted proposals for the 2009 conference in Phoenix/Glendale Arizona, May 13-17. Brent Satterly, Don Dyson and I were delighted to receive over 120 proposals for Some Like It Hot: The Cutting Edge in Sex Education, Counseling, Therapy & Medicine. The reviewers are already expressing their pleasure with the high quality of the submissions. • Certified Members: Are you aware that you can apply to give AASECT credits for trainings you provide? Many of your peers have already become AASECT-approved providers of CEs. Each time they provide training on sexuality topics they receive advance advertising in Contemporary Sexuality and they receive an electronic template to personalize and present to all those who attend their workshops or lectures. This is a special relationship with your professional membership guild and the premier certification association in sexuality. It simultaneously promotes AASECT and your work to the public and the field. For more information, contact Tayloe Moore, certification manager, at tmoore@aasect.org. Write “CE Provider Application” in the subject header. • Winter Institute: Barry McCarthy and Sallie Foley have designed a unique training opportunity in beautiful 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: 1) detailed discussions of affairs, secret sexual lives, and fatally flawed relationships, 2) controversies in comparing biomedical and psychobiosocial models, 3) new material on couple sexual styles and the preferred balance of intimacy and eroticism, and 4) dealing with sexual secrets. To register, go to www.aasect.org/PDFs/ Winter_Institute_2009_Registration_Form.pdf and fax the form to us at (804) 752-0056. This special event is shaping up as an intimate training opportunity for those who take advantage of it.
