BAAPT's success relies on our enthusiastic members. One of our newer members has jumped right In as an active volunteer. Meet Tim Beggs:

Managing Career, Organizational, and Life Change Using Type

Career Counselor Judy MacLaren led 41 participants in an exploration of two change models: William Bridges' Transitions Model which includes endings, a neutral zone, and beginnings; and the Lee Hecht Harrison Behavior-Based Change Model that encompasses anticipation, letting go, disorientation, reappraisal, and recommitment stages. We then reflected on how this ties into our type preferences.

Happy New Year! With the onset of 2015, it's a time to reflect on the accomplishments of the past, and anticipate changes for the future.  

• A huge accomplishment in 2014 was celebrating BAAPT's 30th Anniversary. What fun it was to reminisce about the founding years, and to reacquaint with former members during various social events held throughout the year. 

• Another was welcoming many new members to continue our strong legacy in the Type community. (On a related note, please see the message below regarding the revised Member Directory coming soon.)

• As for changes ahead...we'll be electing some new Board Members at the January meeting, after which Adam Frey will pass the gavel to Rob Weston as President for 2015.

• Another major change is the redesign of the BAAPT website! Sincere thanks to Mike Murphy and Vicki Brown for their diligent efforts over the past many months to create a brighter, more user-friendly site.

I look forward to another year spent with you to learn more about Type, and to apply it to our everyday lives. 

Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015,

Julie Wright, BAAPT Marketing Director

P. S.  Don't hesitate to contact us with questions.  We look forward to seeing you at this event.
