Here Letter From Your President Our organization has reached a milestone in its growth, so much so that it outgrew its name (i.e. the Virginia Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors). Our new name, the Virginia Association of Addiction Professionals (VAAP) allows us to explicitly welcome other addiction professionals into our membership – recovery coaches, prevention specialists, physician assistants, social workers, interventionists, medical doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, LPC’s, LMFT’s and psychiatric nurse practitioners. It also allows us to keep up with the changes in our field. As you know, NAADAC changed its name a while ago to “NAADAC, The Association for Addiction Professionals”. Since that time, some NAADAC state affiliates have changed their names to reflect a realization of the need to extend the arms of membership beyond addiction counselors to all addiction professionals. I am sure that some are concerned that what VAADAC represents may be left behind. Let me assure you that as this board goes forward over the next year, we will do so mindful of VAADAC’s values, the best of VAADAC’s traditions, lessons we have learned from VAADAC (wisdom), and a commitment to service to our members. Values, traditions, wisdom, and service will be the four cornerstones of our foundation as Virginia Association of Addiction Professionals. This year the board also suggested Bylaws updates which reflect further explication of: board duties, the nominations and elections process, student membership and other levels of membership, and certification/educational committee. As the year progresses, you will begin to see our new name incorporated into the board’s work. You will see it on e-mail and in the name of our newsletter. At trainings, you will begin to note the new name on our display. As our membership increases, I hope that you will join with me in welcoming new members from different branches of our field of addiction professionals — recovery coaches, preventionists, LPC’s, psychiatrists, interventionists, LMFT’s, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurse practitioners, physicians assistants, and nurses—as they join the Virginia Association of Addiction Professionals.
