Hello all!
Writing to all of you from a quite warm summer in Buenos Aires. I will share some news from the Latin America and the Caribbean region.
It is always exciting and touching when elections happen and councils are renewed in the associations. It is an opportunity to look at all that has been accomplished in the last years. It is the time to acknowledge and express our appreciation to our colleagues whose efforts and work was done because of the gift of their voluntary time, commitment and dedication. It is the time to reaffirm the vision and mission of the local music therapy community to move the profession forward.
In the Latin America and the Caribbean Region our organizational members ASAM (Asociación Argentina de Musicoterapia) and AMT-PR (Associação de Musicoterapia do Paraná from Brazil) have recently renewed their authorities, in 2018.
In ASAM elections occur every 4 years, and in AMT-PR every 2 years.
I introduce you here to the new authorities from both associations. Please, join us in congratulating them!
