Strength in numbers...

08 Jul 2007 8:51 PM | Anonymous

Strength in numbers - help build recognition for your profession. Joining WaProCA is the best and lowest cost insurance you can buy to protect your right to practice. Legislators want to know that we have a strong membership, that we really do represent private practice RC's. Building WaProCA gives us credibility and power to act. If you think about the cost of going back to school and training to do different work just because your modality isn't licensed in Washington state, the $95 membership fee is a fraction of a penny by comparison! We are working as hard as we can to protect all of us and protect our clients, and we can't continue to do that without you. Many of you have already joined WaProCA - thank you!

We are beginning to send outreach letters to RC's in small groups as we can afford to. As more memberships come in, we will be able to mail out to more RC's. We can only afford to do a little at a time as our only source of funding so far is membership. We also still have to pay our lobbyist what we owe her from last session, and we will need her services again next session.

What you can do:

If you haven't already become a member of WaProCA, please join us.
Reach out to other RC's you know and encourage them to join.
We especially want and need to expand our membership in the following areas: Spokane, Ellensburg, Puyallup, Tacoma, Fort Lewis, Steilacoom, Milton, Summit, Fife, Lakewood, University Place, Kent, SeaTac, DesMoines, Vancouver, Kitsap County and the Olympic Peninsula, and the Capitol Hill, Wallingford, and Madison Park areas of Seattle.
Connect with your colleagues. Do you belong to any professional organizations? Could you make an announcement at a meeting or post a notice on a listserv?
Everything you do helps! You don't need to do a lot - if you can reach even one more person beside yourself and help them to take action, it will support and strengthen all our efforts.
