President's Message
Juanita Davies
Thanks to all of you who made the 2012-2013 season a great year for our APT NY Metro chapter!
We can look back at the many things we accomplished together. I am particularly pleased that we were an integral part of bringing an MBTIŽ Step III certification program to New York City in October! We upgraded our website and plan to offer a Membership Directory for chapter members, to provide easy access to the wealth of experienced resources in our group. We also had
a year of diverse and interesting Type related programs.
As we close out this program year, most of you know that I have made the decision to step down as Chapter President. This was not an easy decision but it was the right one for me at this time. As President I had the valuable experience of serving with a team of talented professionals on the Board who worked together to bring you their best. I also got better acquainted with some of our chapter members and learned what a unique and gifted group we have!
I want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement. I value the time I spent leading this chapter and I know I leave it in the capable hand of our new team. I will continue to be an active participant as an advisor to the board and look forward to seeing you at future chapter events.
Have a wonderful, relaxing summer and take some time to appreciate the people in your life. I appreciate all of you and look forward to seeing you in the fall.
All the best, Juanita

Together our board will work collaboratively to continue to bring you a high level of programs and services.
Congratulations to the members of the 2013-2014 Board of Directors who have stepped forward to lead the Chapter. Please join us in wishing them a very successful and rewarding Chapter term.

A Visit with Katharine Myers
Juanita Davies
 This spring I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in the company of Katharine Myers and Shoya Zichy. Shoya is one of the founding members of our chapter and Katharine Myers is the daughter-in-law of Isabel Myers. When asked how I enjoyed the weekend my answer was that I felt like a music student visiting with Beethoven! Katharine has made a personal commitment to continue the work of Isabel Myers and it is fascinating to listen to her talk about the development of her interest in MBTIŽ. She is also a warm, lovely person and it's fun to be with her! Katharine talked about her first experience with MBTIŽ when Isabel Myers administered the instrument to Katharine's 11th grade class. She described her discussion with Isabel as a life-changing experience when she learned that her preference for introversion was OK and that she had the freedom to be herself! More recently, Katharine has been championing the use of MBTIŽ Step III™. During my time with Katharine and Shoya, we talked about the importance of getting Step III into the hands of those who can use it. The result of those discussions was that CAPT is having a certification program for Step III in New York City on October 9th and 10th., 2013. It was very satisfying to be a part of that process. To learn more about Step III and CAPT's certification program please go to New York City MBTIŽ Step III™ Certification. This is a two-day program and the cost is $795.00. Currently there are only a few hundred Certified MBTIŽ Step III™ practitioners so this is a wonderful opportunity to be on the cutting edge! As a further indication of her support of Step III, Katharine is funding a grant program called the "5 for 5 Program". She will refund $500 toward the cost of certification tuition in exchange for using the assessment with 5 clients within 5 months of the program and obtaining 5 client evaluations of the assessment for the Step III data bank. This is the same grant as the one being offered at the certification program that is being conducted in conjunction with the APTi conference on July 9th and 10th. To find out more about the 5 for 5 grant you can go to Katharine Myers 5 for 5 grant for Step IIIThere is a wealth of information on Katharine's website. To read more from Katharine, you can visit her blog at MBTIŽ Type Today.
