The last few months have been filled with great opportunities, learning experiences, and progress.
NCCHSA President Darlene Holloway was invited to speak at the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT) convention in Las Vegas last June regarding licensure. Therapists were in attendance from across the country and were excited and supportive of NCCHSA efforts. The Association is excited about joining other Colon Hydrotherapists in achieving the mutual goal of securing the safety of clients and insuring the future of the Colon Hydrotherapy profession. NCCHSA thanked those participants who voiced their support and encouragement as well as those who contributed financially. Notably, I-ACT generously donated $10,000 to NCCHSA. The Association thanked the Board, not only for their financial support but for their encouragement and commitment to therapists.
NCCHSA met with therapists from Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina at the conclusion of the Mid Atlantic Regional Conference on November 8, 2008. The Association discussed meeting with members of Congress, fund raising, and the benefits of licensure. Through the commitment of NCCHSA therapists, the Association has made beneficial contacts and is diligently laying the ground work for a bill to be introduced to the North Carolina state legislature. NCCHSA again thanks those therapists who have joined Association efforts.
NCCHSA is moving forward but has far to go. Our attorney, Mr. Dick Carlton, is working tirelessly to draft a bill and follow through with necessary protocols. We are still involved in direct mail efforts, networking, and fundraising. If you are a therapist and have not yet joined NCCHSA, or would like to make a donation, please consider doing so today.
Please visit www.ncchsa.org again and watch for updates as we enter the final stages of successful licensure.
Sincerely,
Denise Souza
Secretary, NCCHSA
