WHMC Committees

Education Committee

Volunteers serving on the Education Committee (EC) plan and execute WMHC’s educational programming including Webinars and In-Person Trainings. For each educational offering, volunteers to the EC research, contact, and coordinate with potential presenters for trainings/webinars/case consultations, and help submit continuing education materials so that members attending trainings can receive CEs. The EC schedules the presenters. The EC also answers WMHC members’ questions regarding educational matters. The Chair of the EC introduces the speaker and facilitates the Q&A portion of the educational events. The Chair also oversees the training of new volunteers in the policies and procedures relating to WMHC’s educational programming.

Chairs: Amelia Aldao, Ph.D.
