SUMMARY OF MAY 14 LECTURE
Changes to Washington State Law

The Washington State legislature recently approved changes to the
state laws which affect Registered Counselors. According to Miriam
Dyak, President of the Washington State Professional Counselors
Association (www.waproca.org), Hypnotherapists are NOT affected in
any way by these changes. Counselors will be required to add
continuing education. Miriam shared this news at the Washington State
Holistic Chamber of Commerce meeting at East-West Bookshop on May 14,
2008.

Miriam was uniquely qualified to articulate the history of the bill
and the various changes affecting counselors because she and a small
group of dedicated professionals personally invested many hours of
their time, energy, and resources over the course of the past two
years, travelling to Olympia on numerous occasions to represent the
interests of counselors in our state.

I got permission to audio record this lecture, and as soon as we get
it posted to a web page we will send out an announcement to let you
know how you can listen to it. For more information, please visit
www.waproca.org.

Special thanks to Katie Evans for being the representative from NGHWA
on this project. We are grateful for your time and energy to help
support our profession!
