I have been in the role of Interim Executive Director now for almost two months. During this time, I have been reminded how important Listening is in our work. I have been reminded of how easy it is to listen but not hear what is being said.
In the past few weeks, I have attempted to listen more than I have spoken; however, I am sure that there have been times when my speaking has prevented me from hearing what others would like for me to hear. I have always been grateful for the grace offered to me in those times.

In May 2020, the Board of Directors of ACPE authorized a working group to begin a thorough review, revision, and updating of the Objectives and Outcomes for Level I/Level II CPE. The Outcomes Work Group (OWG) is chaired by Maurice Appelbaum and Liam Robins. The members of the group included ACPE Certified Educators Julie Hanada, Amani Legagneur, Tamekia Milton, Judy Ragsdale, Matt Rhodes, Maureen Shelton, and Dr. Carrie Doehring, the Clifford Baldridge Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Iliff School of Theology, and Jana Troutman-Miller, former chair of the Board of Chaplaincy Certification, Inc. The group initially met monthly and, over time, increased frequency to multiple times per week for the past few months. These revised Outcomes and Indicators are the culmination of significant time and energy, many years of practical experience, and gleanings from the most current research in the field.
