President’s Update – January 2022

Welcome to the new year. We are living in such bizarre times. COVID has taken over our lives and is still affecting people all over the world, including my family. While we plan for the future, we need to be flexible to adjust our daily lives. I hope that you and your family have been, and continue to be, healthy.

We have a lot planned for this year. Our committees meet monthly and they each welcome new participants. For more information, please visit our website at https://www.collaborativepracticeflorida.com.

If you have not already done so, please familiarize yourself with the website by taking a tour and please be sure to create your own account on the website. You can do so by going to the Log In button at the top and then to My Account to create your profile. I then welcome you to look at our committees by clicking the FACP Board and Committees button on your page. Feel free to contact me if you want more information about a committee.

Our Conference Committee is hard at work planning our 10th annual FACP Conference, which will be held June 9-11, 2022 at the J.W. Marriott Tampa Water Street. You can find information about the conference at https://www.collaborativepracticeflorida.com/facps-10th-annual-conference/. It’s a great time to network with hundreds of Collaborative professionals from throughout the state of Florida and other states. We will have a lot of thought-provoking presentations and workshops. I promise that you will not want to miss it. We will send e-mails to you once the registration is open, but please save the dates so you will be available to join us in Tampa as we share ideas about how to enhance our Collaborative Practice and have a great time in the process!

You also should mark October 27-30, 2022 in your calendar. That is when the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals will hold their annual Forum at the Gaylord Palms Conference Center in Kissimmee. The IACP Forum is an exciting opportunity for our Collaborative professionals in Florida to meet experienced Collaborative professionals from around the world. This will be the first time that the IACP has ever had its Forum in Florida (after I lobbied them for many years). I look forward to seeing all of my Florida Collaborative friends at the Forum.

As many of you already know, my “door” is always open to you. Feel free to call me at 305-448-1555 or e-mail me at rmerlin@merlinlaw.com to discuss anything on your mind – Collaborative or otherwise.
