A Word from the ACPE President

Sally SchwabBy Sally Schwab

ACPE President

 

As the 2011 year begins, I reflect about where we have been as an Association and where we are heading.  For what we have been, I am grateful and for where we are and what lies ahead, I am hopeful!  I trust that you are, too!

 

One of the exercises I ask new groups of CPE students to participate in as they share their autobiographical stories with each other is to identify when their hearts sing and when their hearts weep.  Naming joy and sadness is important to honoring our diverse identities and moving forward together in mutual respect and collegiality.  Issues face the ACPE that are important to our future life in community.  Those issues include strengthening the Foundation for Clinical Pastoral Education and moving forward with a Capital Campaign.  The ACPE is exploring the possibility of a new vision, mission and values.  We are examining new governance opportunities and want to build upon the strategic plan adopted in 2006 to create a strategic plan that will lead us to 2015.  We are exploring the possibility of creating new partnerships and renewing existing partnerships as we work with cognate groups, nationally and internationally, in spiritual/pastoral care.

 

This is a wonderful time to be a member of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education and your involvement through service and support is essential!

Foundation for CPE

Andrea O'NealWelcomes New Administrative Assistant

 

Shortly after its move to Decatur, the Foundation for CPE was able to hire Ms. Andrea O'Neal as its temporary Administrative Assistant.  She works part-time for the Foundation, while the Foundation for CPE Board determines the final staffing parameters for the office, which is now located in the ACPE National Office.

 

Andrea is a native of Texas and a graduate of the Stephen F. Austin State University.  She did graduate work in journalism at the University of Texas. Prior to joining the Foundation for CPE, Andrea was the International Donor Care Coordinator at the Medical Assistance Program International in Atlanta. She has previous experience as the Circles Program Officer in the Development office of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and Membership Director at the YMCA of South DeKalb in Decatur, GA.

 

She began in early December and her first task was to unpack the twenty-eight boxes that arrived from the office in San Antonio.  She is excited about keeping the Foundation office on track during this time of transition and about the ways in which she can facilitate the upcoming Capital Campaign and Annual Fund Campaigns of the FCPE.
