Hello MAMFT!

It is bittersweet that I get to say goodbye to my role as Pre-Clinical Representative! It has been a wonderful 4 years serving the folks who are experiencing this very important part of the journey as MFTs. I have seen so many committee members, peers, and dear friends transition through the journey from graduate school to full licensure. And what a journey that is! Thank you to everyone who has come to a gathering, event, or even just emailed to express interest in the Pre-Clinical happenings! I, too, found these gatherings and events helpful as I progressed through my licensure journey that culminated this past September when I achieved my LMFT licensure. I did not quite know what I signed up for when I put my hat in the ring for the Pre-Clinical Rep role back in 2014, but I am sure glad that I did!

Melissa Mrozek, MA, LAMFT, LADC has been appointed to complete the rest of my term for the next 2 years. She will make the role and committee her own and continue to further the interests of Pre-Clinical MFT folks in Minnesota. She can be reached at preclinical@mamft.net if you are interested in being involved or have ideas!

I have resigned from this role in order to step into my new appointment as the Legislative Co-Chair alongside Erin Pash. Anyone who knows me is aware that I am passionate about the impact of legislation on our everyday lives and the lives of our clients, especially those most vulnerable to the impacts. I have been interested in this role for many years and this is the perfect time to step into it. I look forward to serving MAMFT, our clients, and ultimately everyone in the state Minnesota in this new role.

Your (previous) Pre-Clinical Representative,

Tamara L. Statz, MA, LMFT
MAMFT Legislative Co-Chair
