We want to begin by offering our sincere apologies for the delay in sending out a newsletter. Sometimes life gets busy, and it can be difficult to keep up with everything happening behind the scenes. Thank you for your continued patience, support, and commitment to our chapter.
So… what’s new?
First, CAMFT Conference 2026 was an incredible experience! Our President and President-Elect had the opportunity to table during the conference and connect with many of you in person. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, share your experiences, and represent the Inland Empire community with so much warmth and support. It truly reminded us how meaningful connection and community are within this profession.
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the members who attended our IE-CAMFT Pop-Up Events throughout 2025–2026. These gatherings allowed us to network, collaborate, and spend intentional time together outside of traditional CE events. At IE-CAMFT, community matters deeply, and creating spaces for authentic connection continues to be one of our priorities.
