She has continued to expand the international growth of our organization, a goal that is particularly dear to me. She has worked with competence and dedication to support the international chapters, especially regarding relations with the Israeli community. With patience and determination she has completed a long process of improvement of the structure and the bylaws of IARPP so that we have rules that are the result of reflection on the experiences of the first years of life of our organization. I was happy to pass the baton to her as President and now as Past-president, and I\u2019m sure she will continue to make a crucial contribution to the IARPP. \u00a0\u00a0Thank you so much Chana!!!\u00a0Susi<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wwwsmallIARPPlogoGfx.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2738 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wwwsmallIARPPlogoGfx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"25\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By <strong>Hazel Ipp <\/strong>(Canada)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/HIppwww.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1900 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/HIppwww.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is with pleasure that I have this opportunity to write a little note of appreciation for Chana Ullman in her capacity as President of IARPP.\u00a0 We have worked together for over 10 years during which time Chana has always demonstrated a wonderful capacity for making things happen, for getting the job done, for thought and reflection and for always doing so with grace and aplomb.\u00a0 And so it was with her presidency as she took the helm with comfort, ease and competency.\u00a0\u00a0 Ever mindful of our mandate to include and expand our international community, she took great strides in this direction.\u00a0 A direction that flowed easily for her given her longstanding experience chairing our local chapters committee.\u00a0 Reliable, forthright and clear in purpose and focus, Chana continued to navigate the organization in stellar ways, securing more of the infrastructure she so valued, and setting IARPP firmly on course.\u00a0 We shall miss her but I personally look forward to regular and ongoing contact with her in her capacity as Past President and as my friend.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wwwsmallIARPPlogoGfx.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2738 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wwwsmallIARPPlogoGfx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"25\" \/><\/a><\/strong>By<strong> Rina Lazar <\/strong>(Israel)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/lazarphoto1014wwwMS.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-4\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2713 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/lazarphoto1014wwwMS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"175\" \/><\/a>Writing a farewell and thank you letter to Chana at the end of her presidency seems to me both strange and exactly right.\u00a0 I have known Chana as a friend, a colleague, and as the President of IARPP during the past two years. I met her through forming the Israeli chapter of IARPP, and I find her to be the best partner with whom to accomplish things. She maximized her capacities in her role as our president in this flourishing organization.\u00a0 Chana has taken on many roles in IARPP. She was the second Israeli representative there (after Emanuel Berman) and this was not an easy task then or now. She has an energetic, thoughtful, and insistent way of doing things and we find ourselves in a better place as an organization after these two years. She is one in a sequence of very good people who find leading IARPP as a mission. We thank her very much and welcome Steve Kuchuck as the new President.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wwwsmallIARPPlogoGfx.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2738 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/wwwsmallIARPPlogoGfx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"25\" \/><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0By<strong> Sharon Ziv-Beiman<\/strong> (Israel)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/sharonZBw.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-6\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-220 size-full alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/sharonZBw.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>It is a privilege for me to deeply thank Chana for her brilliant, tremendous, and courageous leadership as IARPP President.

Chana also oversaw\u00a0the new interest group co-chaired by Eyal Rozmarin and Victor Do\u00f1as, Psychoanalysis and the Collective. The list of her achievements goes on, but space is limited.\u00a0 I will close by offering a personal thank you to Chana for her generous guidance and mentorship during the past year when I served as President-elect.\u00a0 I am grateful that I will be able to count on her continued sharing of wisdom this year when she serves on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors as Former President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Susanna Federici, Hazel Ipp, Rina Lazar, Sharon Ziv-Beiman, Peggy Crastnopol, Steven Kuchuck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":3,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"issuem_issue":[58],"issuem_issue_categories":[],"issuem_issue_tags":[],"class_list":["post-6567","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","issuem_issue-volume-16-number-3-december-2017"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
