A year of presidency of the CLI Board may not seem like an extraordinary service to provide. After all, the president has already been a Board member, so pretty much knows what s/he is getting into, right? Oh heck no! This role requires much more focus, decision-making, and preparation than any other job in CLI. Our 2019 president, Carl Arnold, shouldered the responsibility on his own (with able assistance from Sandy Beeson, but no co-president), and did a fine job. Carl led with humor, creativity and vision, and we owe him our appreciation for a job well done!

100 Words of Wisdom Based on the 2nd IACP Study
By Linda Wray
TIP #7 |
Parents are satisfied with their post-divorce relationships with: their children, their ability to parent, parenting time arrangements and other parenting outcomes. They also are satisfied with their child specialist (when on a case). Collaborative clients, however, do not correlate their satisfaction on these variables with their satisfaction with the Collaborative process. PRACTICE TIP: Particularly at the end of a case, help clients connect their satisfaction with parenting outcomes and with their mental health professional to their satisfaction with the Collaborative process. Do this by emphasizing the benefits and anticipated effectiveness of a parenting plan focused on their children’s developmental needs.

Why donate to the CLI Leadership Circle?
As we have learned, annual dues alone do not cover the operating expenses of our organization. By donating the equivalent of one or two of your billable hours to the Leadership Circle you are helping support the initiatives of CLI, including trainings, continuing education credits for several professional designations on all trainings, video recording & webcasting of trainings, Public Education Committee materials creation and outreach and participation in booths and sponsorships in the greater family law community, CLI website redesign for a more user friendly experience, plus ongoing and increasing overhead costs of running an efficient and responsible organization on behalf of CLI members.
How to contribute:
Please send a check by December 31st, 2019 made out to
CLI Minnesota
with
Leadership Circle
in the memo line to the CLI mailing address at:
The Collaborative Law Institute Minnesota
