OUR
1st YEAR
April 30, 2003
marked the end of our first year since
PHANA’s launch as an association with members.
During the 12 months ending on that date, we:
¨
Gained a membership of 60, of
which 57 were Helpers and 3 were Apprentice Helpers.
The three states with the most members on April 30, 2003, were NY –
16; CA – 13; VA – 11.
¨
Created a professional
Register
of Pathwork Helpers and mounted it on the PHANA website (www.phana.org)
which provides information on PHANA, including its Council,
history, mission, services,
all reports to the Foundation plus the
PHANA/Foundation
agreement. The site also
provides information on training programs in
North America
, and helpership
materials.
¨
Commenced additional member
service offerings. The first of
these is a service that helps members wanting to publicize their practices and
events via the World-Wide Web and to create logos, business cards, and
letterheads. There are
considerable advantages to having a webpage or website with a link from your
entry in the PHANA Register
of Pathwork Helpers.
¨
Were very active in work towards
improving connections within the Pathwork community in
North America
. The
PHANA Coordinator visited all 5 of the US Affiliates, visits paid for by
donors, not PHANA. He also
attended two meetings of the Pathwork Foundation Board within 2002, and a
meeting of the US Affiliates in 2003.
¨
Signed a PHANA/Foundation
agreement with the Pathwork Foundation Board in October 2002.
This states PHANA’s mission, organization, authority and reporting.
ONGOING PROJECTS
¨
North
American Leadership and Helper Training Meetings.
¨
Pathwork Teachers Helper service
This
service helps PHANA members share exercises and materials for teaching the
Pathwork. The service is being
developed cooperatively by PHANA and the Pathwork Press.
It makes use of a database of teaching materials mounted on the
Pathwork Foundation website. The
service will commence within the first half of calendar 2003.
We will let you know by email when the service is up and running!
¨
Q & A Project
PHANA has permission
from the Foundation to make available unedited Q & A texts to PHANA
members as soon as copyrighting of the Q & As is completed.
CD is the projected distribution medium.
We expect to be able to issue these texts in the second half of
calendar 2003.
¨
Extension of PHANA membership
PHANA
Council is working to progressively extend PHANA membership categories both
within
North America
(e.g. Trainees), and outside (e.g. Overseas
Helpers). PHANA is also commencing
discussions with the Foundation concerning possible PHANA collaboration in the
formation of an International Pathwork Helpers Association (IPHA).
