Letter from the President of CIPS – Fall 2023
It was the end of August. I was about to take on my new role as President of CIPS, but still on Cape Cod, where I rent the same cottage for a week or two every year.
Fall 2023
Dear CIPS Community,
This issue of NewsBriefs seeks to do just that—to succinctly share the news in our shared communities, and also to be brief. I assume that we are all very busy, each in our own ways. I do hope that you’ll take about ten to fifteen minutes to read through what is here—including the many accomplishments, heartfelt commitments, and reflections of your colleagues.
This issue’s theme is “Growth and Disruption,” and I want to alert you to a couple creative reflections that were generously shared with us. Carolyn Steinberg, MD, FIPA has shared a painting, which also includes a thought-provoking reflection on her piece. Rikki Ricard, MFA, MA, FIPA has shared a written reflection aptly titled “Growth and Disruption.” The essay reflects on many dialectics, including a challenging, and ultimately transformative process that occurred at NPSI this past year. I strongly recommend taking at least a few minutes to experience these artistic expressions!

In the anticipation of events, anticipation of growth into a new roll or experience, we phantasize what this will look like.
Now that fall is officially here and we quickly move towards winter, or as we like to call it in Seattle: THE BIG DARK, my sight moves to my garden and the last remaining blooms on my dahlias and my beautiful Julia Child rose bush.
