Scott Edwards Receives National Award

On Friday October 2, 2009 Associate Professor of Marriage and Family Therapy, Scott Edwards, received national recognition from the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy in Sacramento, California.  Scott’s Divisional Leadership Award reflected his key positions on four state AAMFT boards (including five-years for the Presidential term commitment in Washington) and in the development and passage of 2SHB 2674 which reorganized the registered counselor designation in Washington state. New state mental health credentialing titles, with the goal of protecting the public, began this year.  Scott also currently serves in a peer-elected position as the AAMFT Chair of Divisional Presidents.
